NATIVE SCOUT HEADS MARKET FOR CHANDLER

Native Scout faces 12 rivals in the Victor Chandler Chase at Ascot tomorrow after the Arthur Moore-trained Fadoudal Du Cochet was the only absentee at the overnight declaration stage.

Donie Hassett´s charge, an ante-post gamble from 20/1 down to 11/4 joint favourite with the sponsors following his creditable second to Moscow Flyer at the Leopardstown Christmas meeting, will be ridden by Barry Geraghty.

Azertyuiop, the mount of Ruby Walsh and whose presence at the head of the weights means that just three of the runners are in the handicap proper, is the other 11/4 joint favourite.
