Nicky Henderson is optimistic about the chances of Punchestowns making the line-up for the RSA Chase at the Cheltenham Festival on Wednesday week.
Nicky Henderson declared his Grade One-winning novice to be lame on Friday but the seven-year-old is now sound again and enjoyed a spin on Saturday morning in company with Binocular.
The latter has already endured his own injury scare, with Henderson last week ruling out a crack at the Champion Hurdle due to a muscular problem.
However, that issue has now been resolved and Binocular is back in the Cheltenham frame, although Henderson admits nothing is certain in the build-up to the Festival.
