FOLLOWING the last couple of weeks of potential national hunt action being butchered by the weather, we should have a clear run through this afternoon with some serious betting events at Doncaster and Cheltenham.

Town Moor is my first port of call for a cracking national hunt card with the Great Yorkshire Chase being the main event, an extended three mile chase due off at 3.15. This has been won by some big priced winners in the past few years, most recently 12 months ago by defending title holder Windsor Avenue at a mighty 40/1.

Since then, the Brian Ellison-trained 11-year-old has raced five times, being pulled up on four occasions and finishing a distant fourth on his other start. Despite being some 2lbs lower in the weights, the veteran is hard to fancy and there are several entries here in a field where we have plenty of massively in form players.
