CRS And Adams Morey Handicap Chase

Galop De Chasse³⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 12-0| J: Shane Quinlan⁽³⁾| T: Miss V Williams| OR: 124| BF| D

6/1

Bagged a couple of small field handicap chases in 2021/22 and having finished second on 3 of first 4 starts this term, he resumed winning ways at Hereford (2m) in January. Clearly not himself at Chepstow since (found to have suffered irregular heartbeat).

Age: 8| Weight: 11-10| J: James Best| T: D Pipe| OR: 120| D

50/1

Fairly useful at best but nowhere near that level in recent starts. Plenty to prove in first-time headgear.

Form: 1937P5

5/1

Signed off last season with a game success in a handicap hurdle at Doncaster. Disappointing on return/chase debut at Warwick in November but fared better when second at Stratford 2 weeks ago, albeit no match for winner.

Form: 5241-42

Molineaux^t²⁴

Age: 12| Weight: 11-3| J: Harry Kimber⁽³⁾| T: J Tizzard| OR: 113| CD

9/1

Had been doing well between the flags early last year, winning 5 times from 8 starts in that sphere, and shaped much better than the bare result on his belated return to Rules at Doncaster. Interesting back down in trip.

Form: 21211-7

Calgary Tiger²⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 11-2| J: Ben Ffrench-Davis⁽⁷⁾| T: W De Best-Turner| OR: 112| CD

1/1

Little worthwhile form over hurdles but he made it 2-2 over fences under this rider with all-the-way success in 4-runner handicap at Newbury 24 days ago, going with enthusiasm. Weighted to complete his hat-trick despite taking a 10 lb hike.

Form: 0495/11

Forrard Away¹⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 11-1| J: Beau Morgan⁽⁷⁾| T: R Chapman| OR: 111| D

12/1

Three-time winner in Ireland but went with little encouragement for new yard at Exeter. At least showed a bit more when fourth at Taunton but remains opposable back over fences.

Form: 87-8004

Casa Tall^t⁸⁶

Age: 9| Weight: 10-13| J: J J Burke| T: T R George| OR: 109| D

13/2

Three-time winner over fences who lost his way towards the end of last season and just respectable efforts at best this term.

Form: B3-664U

Forecasts

Calgary Tiger (1/1), Thelasthighking (5/1), Rose Sea Has (11/2), Galop De Chasse (6/1), Casa Tall (13/2), Molineaux (9/1), Forrard Away (12/1), Texard (50/1)

CALGARY TIGER made it 2 from 2 over fences with a bit to spare at Newbury and he looks up to completing the hat-trick. Molineaux shaped much better than the bare result at Doncaster on his belated return to Rules and is a potential danger dropped back to a more suitable trip, while Rose Sea Has might have found the going too lively at Wetherby and can be expected to bounce back.
