 18 DECLARED FOR TOTE GOLD TROPHY       
 Saturday's Tote Gold Trophy at Newbury 
 will have a field of 18 runners after  
 the withdrawals of Escartefiguj, Dato  
 Star, Cheryl's Lad and Angelo's Double.
                                        
 David Nicholson's djcisjon to run      
 Escartefiguj in the Champion Hurdle    
 Trial at Towcestir on Friday meant that
 Dato Star would have carried 12 stone. 
                                        
 That immediately provoked a rethink    
 over plans for the Malcolm Jefferson-  
 trained Champion Hurdle hope.          
                                        
 "He is not going to run, not with top  
 weight," said the trainer's wife Sue.
