2024 Great Yorkshire Chase Trends
Staged at Doncaster racecourse the Great Yorkshire Chase (formerly the Skybet Chase) is a Premier Handicap run over 3m. The race can often throw up some Grand National clues, although no winner in the last 16 runnings has gone onto win the Aintree marathon.
In recent years, the Alan King, Paul Nicholls and Pipe stables have dominated the race with two wins a-piece since 2003, while in the last 18 runnings we’ve seen just two winning favourites.
We look back at recent winners (note, the 2010 and 2011 runnings were abandoned) and gives you the key stats to take into the 2024 renewal – this year being run on Saturday 27th January.
