Tony Calvin: Captain Chaos all the rage over at Warwick this weekend
Tony Calvin looks ahead to Saturday s racing at Warwick and Market Rasen, as Dan Skelton s Captain Chaos looks to add to his impressive Doncaster victory. Dan Skelton is a great long-range plotter and uses and re-introduces headgear effectively - as we saw with Romain de Senam and his reappearing tongue-tie recently - and Captain Chaos has been dropped another generous 4lb after his Newbury run on unfavoured good ground last time.
I had an early dart at the ante-post column this week - read my thoughts on Barbados Buck s chances in the Albert Bartlett here - and maybe just as well, as this is the lowest-profile weekend I can remember this season.
