Horse Racing: Rince Ri and Shooting Light head the weights

Cheltenham contenders Rince Ri and Shooting Light head the weights for the Racing Post Chase at Kempton Park on February 23.

Both horses have been saddled with 12st for the €147,000 contest.

Rince Ri was a brave winner of the Pillar Property Chase on his last start, while Martin Pipe's Shooting Light has crept into the Gold Cup picture after reeling of an impressive hat-trick of victories over fences since being switched to the Nicholashayne maestro.

Nicky Henderson's Marlborough, another fancy for chasing's Blue Riband but unraced so far this season after an operation on a trapped epiglottis, is next in the list on 11-12.

Jonjo O'Neill's Legal Right follows on 11-9, with Commanche Court, also trained by Walsh, on 11-5, along with Hennessy Gold Cup winner What's Up Boys.

A notable entry is the Norman Mason-trained Red Striker (11-1), who put up a fine performance to take the Peter Marsh Chase at Haydock on his last start.

Venetia Williams progressive Banker Count, third in the Peter Marsh, could reoppose and has been allotted 11-1.
