Takingrisks stayed on stoutly to see off the bold front-running bid of Aye Right in the Sky Bet Great Yorkshire Chase at Doncaster on Saturday.

The 2019 Scottish National hero was sent off at 40/1 having not won since his Rehearsal Chase success last season, but again proved he has stamina in abundance.

Aye Right gave his all once more, just as he had in the Ladbrokes Trophy in which he finished second to Cloth Cap.

He was still in front jumping the last as the favourite, Cap Du Nord, who travelled smoothly throughout before hitting the second last hard, and Takingrisks bore down on him.

As Cap Du Nord began to tire, it was Nicky Richards’ 12-year-old who kept finding more for Sean Quinlan, with Takingrisks claiming it by a length and a quarter with a further two and a half lengths back to Cap Du Nord. Canelo was fourth.

Quinlan, from Littleton in Co Tipperary, has ridden 43 winners this season. Just a week ago he won the Champion Hurdle Trial at Haydock on Navajo Pass.
