NO LOOSE CHANGE can complete a quick double for the Nicholls team as he was probably a bit out of his depth in the Foxhunter Chase at Cheltenham. The shorter trip is also in his favour. Foundry Square usually keeps good company in hunter chases and won't go down without a fight but Calgary Bay is not the force of old. The remainder are even harder to fancy on what they've shown recently.
