Challico and DIESE DES BIEFFES look set to dominate proceedings for their leading trainers. The former just got home last time to beat a 113 rated rival from whom he was getting 6lb. Paul Nicholls' charge clearly had more in hand than the margins suggest, having idled when in command and then making for the paddock. On this occasion he has to concede 6lb to DIESE DES BIEFFES who comfortably beat a 129 rated hurdler at Fontwell. The Seven Barrows runner was receiving plenty of weight that day, but he had plenty in hand and has room for a lot more improvement.
