Two Shots at Great Yorkshire Chase
A cracking day of racing with Cheltenham Festival Trials day at Prestbury Park and the Great Yorkshire Chase card at Doncaster.
We take aim at the 18 runner handicap chast at Doncaster which is most competitive just as we love it.
Twoshotsoftequila is in great form this season. He was sent off favourite here in a similar race before Christmas. Brian Hughes rode a patient race with Twoshotsoftequila travelling best coming into the finishing straight. The fences in the straight were out due to the low sun which didn’t help as it turned into a dour test of stamina. Nathan Moscrop is back riding this horse who he knows well. I like that he carries a featherweight of 10-2 with good ground fine too.
Sail Away beat Forward Plan by 11 lengths at Ayr last April. This horse loves jumping and racing on good ground. The ground has come in his favour, and he enjoyed a nice run here in December where several fences were dolled off due to the low sun. On a reasonable handicap mark of 142 so hopefully runs a big race here for Dan Skelton with Tristan Durrell claiming 3lbs.
