Binocular Eased For Champion Hurdle

Binocular has been eased for the Champion Hurdle after an unimpressive victory at Sandown. Faced with only three rivals, the closest rated 36 pounds below him, Binocular won by two lengths but that wasn’t good enough for Ladbrokes who now rate him a 7/2 chance to retain his Champion Hurdle crown.

Oscar Whisky another Nicky Henderson contender for the Champion Hurdle, still rates as a 14/1 shot with bet365 after a facile eight length victory in the Welsh Champion Hurdle at Ffos Las.
