Buywise favourite for Sky Bet Chase at Doncaster

Evan Williams' consistent nine-year-old has always threatened to win a big prize and may step up in trip for the race registered as the Great Yorkshire Chase.

Irish Cavalier, fifth in the King George for Rebecca Curtis, is next in the betting at 12-1, along with the Paul Nicholls-trained Le Mercurey and Alan King's Ziga Boy. King has also entered Paddy Power winner Annacotty, Sego Success, Midnight Prayer and Ned Stark.

Lucy Wadham has entered Le Reve after he signalled a return to form at the weekend when second to Kruzhlinin at Kempton.

"Le Reve seems absolutely fine after his run at the weekend," she said.

"We are hoping he will be able to build on that because he had a wind operation in November and that was his first run back. I think it takes them a race or two to get their confidence back so we were really happy with him.

"We are definitely considering the Sky Bet Chase. If we had to miss it for whatever reason, there is the race he won last year at Sandown the following week but we will be looking at Doncaster very closely."

Charlie Longsdon has entered Badger Ales Trophy winner Drop Out Joe and stablemate Coologue.

"Drop Out Joe has had a nice break since the Badger Ales Trophy and is in good form," said Longsdon.

"I've put him in the Sky Bet Chase at Doncaster but if it's very soft he won't run. He is quite high in the handicap now off 150, but we know he likes the track as he ran very well in the Grimthorpe Chase last year. It just depends on the ground.

"Coologue is the more definite of the two as he will like any ground. He's a nice improving novice and has an ideal profile for the race. He has only run three times over fences and ran well in a Grade Two at Doncaster a month ago."

There are four entries from Ireland, with three trained by Stuart Crawford. Glenquest, Yes Tom and Man With Van. Arthur Moore's Pass The Hat is the other.

Virak, Splash Of Ginge, Aachen, Fingal Bay and Sam Winner are also among the 46 entries.
