2020 Savills Chase Trends

/in /by

Staged at Leopardstown racecourse, Ireland,

the Grade One Savills Chase, formerly the Lexus Chase, is run over a distance of 3m and is often seen as a decent guide ahead of the Cheltenham Gold Cup, run later that season.

Some great names in recent years to land both races are Denman (2007/08) and Best Mate (2003/04), while considering the contest is staged in Ireland we’ve actually seen 8 UK-based horses come over and win the prize in the last 19 years. Last year the race was won by the Gordon Elliott-trained Delta Work.

Here at GEEGEEZ we take a look back at recent winners and gives you the key trends ahead of the 2020 renewal – this year run on Monday 28th December.
