A BRILLIANT Saturday of national hunt racing centres around Trials Day at Cheltenham and at Doncaster and it is SKB Great Yorkshire Chase at the Town Moor track that takes pride of place in my betting profile this afternoon.

It is great to see a massive field of 18 go to post with the midweek mover being bottom weight Cap Du Nord who will finally get his spring ground off a very viable mark of 122. However, he is hardly improving at the age of 11 and now down to 8/1 in places I feel he has been found in the market place.
