Sky Bet Great Yorkshire Handicap Chase 2010 Next Running: 15:25 Saturday January 30th, 2010
Twenty two runners for the Sky Bet Handicap Chase at Doncaster racecourse on Saturday.
The David Pipe trained Seven Is My Number looks to be the one most fancied after winning at Sandown and Cheltenham on his last two outings in December and New Years Day but a tough task here suggests he will find out that life dosen't always go to plan.
Paul Nicholls has Nozic and Kicks For Free who is probably the better of the two while Jonjo O'Neill's Theatrical Moment looks to be a popular choice, he arrives here after two good wins in December.
Calgary Bay is the charge of Henrietta Knight and heads the field, this one went off the boil a tad last season but got his act together when winning over this course and distance in December. A big ask though to get his head in front whilst under top weight.
Exmoor Ranger is proving popular and goes for Victor Dartnall while Jerry Scott saddles Gone To Lunch and Alan King Nenuphar Collonges.
Howard Johnson's reliable Killyglen is next to top weight, Nigel Twiston Davies sends Beat The Boys while other interesting candidates include Trabolgan who is now twelve years old, Khachaturian and New Alco who makes his come back after almost two years off.
Completing the field are Ouzbeck, From Dawn To Dusk, Pretty Star, Zitenka, Beat The Boys, Regal Heights, Pocket Aces, Brooklyn Brownie, Always Waining and Pak Jack.
