Binocular unlikely to take Kingwell chance

Binocular is more likely to have a racecourse gallop at Newbury than run in the Bathwick Tyres Kingwell Hurdle at Wincanton on Saturday, despite appearing among the eight entries.

A decision appeared to have been made to send the 2010 champion hurdler straight to Cheltenham, but Nicky Henderson surprised many by entering the eight-year-old this weekend.
