Hors La Loi III tops Ladbroke weights

Hors La Loi III heads the weights on 12st for the Stg#100,000 Ladbroke Handicap Hurdle at Ascot on Saturday week.

James Fanshawe`s talented six-year-old has had his problems but shaped well on his seasonal debut when runner-up to French ace Baracouda at Ascot last month.

Hors La Loi III, Sir Talbot (11-10) and the Irish-trained Penny Rich (11-4) are all engaged in the Victor Chandler Bula Hurdle at Cheltenham on Saturday.

Martin Pipe has five entries despite being unable to put in record jumps purchase Magnus as the French import has too high a rating.

The pick of the quintet are the progressive novice Westender (11-9), winner of his last five races, and Image de Marque II (10-11). The ex-French mare was a neck second to Rob Leach in the William Hill Handicap Hurdle at Sandown last Saturday after winning her previous four races.

Flightworks Gerry Feilden Hurdle winner Got One Too (10-6) heads Nicky Henderson`s four-strong entry.
