Binocular team consider Sandown bid
Binocular, the second favourite for the JCB Triumph Hurdle, may run at Sandown on Friday.
The four-year-old's first preference is for a prep-run at Kempton on February 23 but the Facilitas SMC Juvenile Novices' Hurdle in Esher is also under consideration.
Trainer Nicky Henderson told the Racing Post: "Although I would say we are more likely to go to Kempton on Saturday week, Sandown is a viable option and we might just get his pre-Cheltenham run over and done with.
"He's been in good form since Ascot and a decision will be made after he does a little bit of work on Tuesday morning."
