Nicky Henderson on Champion Hurdle Favourite Binocular

At a press day at Nicky Hendersons yard this week, he had a number of things to say about his ante post Champion Hurdle favourite Binocular. Last season ended in fine style for Binocular who put up a tremendous performance to claim the Grade One John Smith´s 250th Anniversary 4-Y-O Novices´ Hurdle at Aintree where he defeated JCB Triumph Hurdle winner Celestial Halo by seven lengths. His season began at Haydock on November 22 with a very easy success in a conditions hurdle.

"The day we realised he was very good at Aintree. AP (McCoy) just sat on the other horse's tail at Aintree and we knew he had another gear. It is quite handy if you can do that but it is obviously a different ball-game around Cheltenham. "I accept Haydock is a speed track too but I am not worried about the track at Cheltenham at the moment. It is going to be a very, very good race. The Boylesports.com International is a genuine pre-Christmas Champion Hurdle on its own - it is not a trial at all rather a very valuable top hurdle.

"I don't think the race will tell us who will win the Champion Hurdlebecause that is too far away. This is the race we have been after - Katchit has got to defend his title and we have got to prove that we are worthy contenders on Saturday.
