Horse racing tips: Sky Bet Chase trends – we help you find the winner of the Doncaster contest live on ITV4 using these trends

THE Great Yorkshire Chase has been a movable feast overs its past 10 runnings. The race was abandoned in 2010, 2011 and 2013, while Southwell hosted it in 2006 and 2007. But there are still plenty of strong trends to focus on.

Your fancy must have finished at least second in its past three runs. So we can cross out Flying Angel, Label Des Obeaux, Coologue and Minella On Line straight away.

Only one horse has managed to shoulder more than 11st 2lb to take this so Tenor Nivernais, L’Ami Serge and Vibrato Valtat also have a bit on their plate.

That has done the trick of cutting the field in half before we look for distance winners. Proven form over the trip has been a major plus, which spells bad news for Long House Hall and Thumb Stone Blues.

The former already had another major problem in trying to defy 560 days off as all of the past 10 winners had run within a couple of months or so.

That leaves us with four standing — Warriors Tale, Wakanda, Pilgrims Bay and Mustmeetalady.

At the prices you could actually back them all and make a profit but WAKANDA is the one for a single win bet. He was a good second at Wetherby last time and should be on the premises again.

Course winner Mustmeetalady is worth a little each-way tickle after winning well on his latest start.
