BINOCULAR AND OVERTURN TO BATTLE AT KEMPTON

BINOCULAR and Overturn are to battle it out once more in Kempton's Christmas Hurdle on Monday (26th).

Overturn was beaten by Binocular in last year's race, yet Henderson's horse only made second place in the Fighting Fifth at Newcastle last month.

Binocular is currently the favourite to win the race at 10-1.

Overturn Wins at Ascot After Oscar Whisky Falls at Last

A cat and mouse finish in the Coral Hurdle had Ascot on its feet after Overturn beat Oscar Whisky.

Barry Geraghty crashed out on the last hurdle leaving Overturn to secure first place.

Both jockey and horse are okay.

Jason Maguire on Overturn completed a full circuit of fluent jumping.

Alan King's Katchit came third in the race - the horse hasn't been seen for 389 days - and Choc Thornton had a fantastic ride.

Lough Derg failed to grab the lime-light but will hopefully redeem himself as he is capable of gaining excellent results.

Full Result:

Ascot 2.45: 1st Overturn (IRE) 5/2, 2nd For Non Stop (IRE) 25/1, 3rd Katchit (IRE) 33/1, 4th King of The Night (GER) 5/1. 7 Ran.
