Sky Bet Great Yorkshire Handicap Chase 2012 Next Running: 14:50 Doncaster - Sat January 28th, 2012

A field of seventeen runners for Doncasters Listed Handicap, the Sky Bet Chase on Saturday. Just one favourite has gone on to win in the last seven renewals and that was David Pipes An Accordion back in 2008.

I'msingingtheblues has the heaviest burden to carry on Saturday followed by Henrietta Knight's Calgary Bay, a popular winner at Cheltenham on New Years Day. An 8lb rise is what he gets so it's a tough ask but with things looking ripe for the Wantage handler it's a case of never say never.

Others in the frame include Shakalakaboomboom who won last time out at Cheltenham, course and distance winner Qianshan Leader and Wayward Prince who was last seen taking fourth in the Rowland Meyrick Handicap Chase.
