Forpady among eight for the Victor Chandler The Tom Cooper trained Forpadydeplasterer is among eight horses confirmed for the Grade 1 Victor Chandler Chase at Ascot on Saturday. The 10 year old son of Moscow Society ran well behind Big Zeb on his last two starts at Navan and Leopardstown and connections will be confident of another big run. Finian's Rainbow, trained by Nicky Henderson, is the highest British-trained horse in the betting for the Queen Mother Champion Chase and will bid to enhance his Cheltenham claims on Saturday. Champion trainer Paul Nicholls has a major hope in exciting novice Al Ferof, while the Henrietta Knight trained Somersby could also take his chance. The Philip Hobbs trained Wishfull Thinking is another with a strong chance while Nick Williams will be hoping for a big performance from his Peterborough Chase winner Gauvain. I'm So Lucky and Oiseau De Nuit complete the entries. Paddy Power bet: 7/4 Finian's Rainbow, 11/4 Al Ferof, 6/1 Somersby 13/2 Wishfull Thinking, 7/1 Gauvain, 10/1 Forpadydeplasterer 16/1 Oiseau De Nuit, 25/1 I’m So Lucky
