The Ascot Chase is one of the most lucrative intermediate-distance races on the racing calendar in Britain.

A whole host of big names have landed the Grade 1 over the years including Kauto Star (2008), Cue Card (2013 & 2017) and Silviniaco Conti (2016) – and the latest renewal could prove informative for the Ryanair Chase after king of the division Allaho was ruled out of the Cheltenham Festival.

Last year’s winner Fakir D’Oudairies is bidding to add a second Ascot Chase to his resume but faces a fascinating new rival in the form of Shishkin, who is sent up in trip by trainer Nicky Henderson after failing to fire in the Tingle Creek.

You can run the rule over our Ascot Chase odds on the Paddy Power website and Paddy Power app, otherwise all the key details about this year’s renewal can be found below.
