Sky Bet Chase: Windsor Avenue beats Storm Control to land shock Doncaster win at 40/1 for Brian Ellison

Windsor Avenue produced a dramatic 40/1 shock win in a Sky Bet Chase at Doncaster for trainer Brian Ellison. Kerry Lee's Storm Control ran out of steam in the final few strides on Town Moor. Cap Du Nord came home third at odds of 15/2, ahead of Hill Sixteen in fourth. Midnight Shadow, the Paddy Power Chase winner, suffered a fatal injury.  Cormier won at Cheltenham. Ellison has put him in National. He was scoping badly over Christmas.

Third Time Lucki won the Grade Two Lightning Novices' Chase at Town Moor. Dan Skelton's horse had struggled at Cheltenham. He will be shortlisted for the Arkle Novice's Chase in March. Skelin's says his horse has an overreach. He doesn't know if it will keep him out of Cheltonham Festival. If it doesn’t, he will wait for Aintree. The horse is talented. It's just magic.
