Pipe - well-backed inmate.

Dom d'Orgeval continues to be the magnet of support with Stan James in the Royal & SunAlliance Chase and has been cut two points into 6-1 for Wednesday's race with the firm this.

The gelding has been given a bullish appraisal by his trainer David Pipe and Neil Morrice, media and on-course representative for Stan James said: "People are looking to mop-up the best each-way value in this race and our clients saw Dom d'Orgeval as a bet to nothing, looking set to be placed if he's unable to topple the favourite Denman.

"This is the second day in succession he's been backed."

Ireland's Hardy Eustace (7-2 from 4) and Brave Inca (100-30 from 4) were the two for money with Stan James in the Smurfit Kappa Champion Hurdle while outsider Kawagino came in to 100s from 250-1.
