Chandler hopes face weight issue

TRAINERS Mark Rimell and Noel Chance have different feelings about the prospective rise in the weights for the Victor Chandler Chase at Ascot on Saturday week.

A hike of at least 5lb is on the cards after reports that the first three in the handicap – Foreman (11-10), Voy Por Ustedes (11-9) and Central House (11-7) - are going to miss the race.

The prospect does not worry Rimell, who has two entries in the £140,000 handicap over two miles and a furlong, Oneway (originally given 11st 2lb) and Crossbow Creek (11st).
