Both have taken aim at the big races. Templegate has a big price fancy in the Becher Chase and Chappers has stuck to his guns in the Tingle Creek.
Last week Chappers extended his lead after Buveur D'Air asserted his dominance on the hurdling division.
The late drift helped Matt with Nicky Henderson's champ going off a crazy 11-8.
Templegate could only manage a third with Doitforthevillage running nicely at an each way price behind Lady Buttons.
It's all to play for as the competition nears it's climax after Christmas.

No doubt in my mind my Nap of the day is ALTIOR in the Tingle Creek.
To some he might be a short price, but for me he's a big one.
And who knows what odds he will go off – my Nap last Saturday was Buveur d'Air and he was tremendous value in the end.
Come on Nicky Henderson! Let's get the big double up. Yeeehaaa!
