Pipe heads handicap lists

Martin Pipe`s horses dominated the weights revealed today for the handicaps at next month`s Cheltenham Festival.

The champion jumps trainer, who supplied 101 of the 636 entries for the contests, provided the top-weight in five of the seven races.

His ex-French Magnus heads the field for both the Coral Eurobet Cup and the Vincent O`Brien County Handicap Hurdle while stable-companions Royal Predica and You`re Agoodun share the honour in the Fulke Walwyn Kim Muir Handicap Chase.

And Pipe`s Wahiba Sands is top-weight in the Grand Annual Chase and the William Hill National Hunt Handicap Chase, in the latter jointly with Martin Todhunter`s Kingsmark.

In the other races Tom George`s Historic heads the Pertemps Series Final field and Fadalko, trained by Paul Nicholls, is atop the list for Mildmay Of Flete Handicap Chase.

The Festival line-up becomes complete today when entries close for the four remaining races at the meeting - the National Hunt Chase, the Weatherbys Champion Bumper, the Christie`s Foxhunter Chase and the Cathcart Chase.

Entries will be announced next Monday.
