The SkyBet Chase is run at Doncaster on the last Saturday of January over a trip of 3 miles.

It's a Class 1 Listed Handicap Chase open to horses aged 5 or older.

The Maximum field is 20 runners.

I have looked at the last 10 runnings of the race, although i have had to go back to 2006 as the race was not run in 2010, 2011 & 2013.

There are 37 horses declared for the race prior to the 5 day stage.
