Racing: Cheltenham contenders Rince Ri and Shooting Light head the weights revealed yesterday for the Racing Post Chase at Kempton Park on February 23rd. Both horses have been saddled with 12st for the £90,000 contest.

Rince Ri, trained by Ted Walsh, 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 off 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.
