Stewards Note:

ROSE SEA HAS: Following its run on 15/2/2023 it was reported that the horse was unsuited by the ground.

GALOP DE CHASSE: Following its run on 25/2/2023 it was reported that the horse had an irregular heartbeat

Probable S.P’s: 9-4 Calgary Tiger (GB), 5-1 Thelasthighking (IRE), 6-1 Rose Sea Has (FR), 15-2 Galop de Chasse (FR), 17-2 Casa Tall (FR), 9-1 Molineaux (IRE), 25-1 Texard (FR), 33-1 Forrard Away (IRE)

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.
