Binocular pleased Tony McCoy in a schooling session yesterday, but a final decision on his participation in the Champion Hurdle is unlikely to be made until tomorrow at the earliest.
The JP McManus-owned six-year-old, who has re-entered the Champion Hurdle market at 9-1 after being given a clean bill of health following muscle problems, jumped well under McCoy and is due to be put through his paces again in a workout tomorrow.
The 14-times champion yesterfday popped him over 13 flights of hurdles at Nicky Henderson's Upper Lambourn base, and was happy with the way things went.
He told the Daily Telegraph: "His jumping was as good as it has been all season. He schooled very well, and I was very happy with him, but we won't know whether he runs until he works."
