The 3m Grade 3 Rowland Meyrick Chase is the feature handicap in the north of England on Boxing Day at Wetherby (2:10). Nine of the 10 declared runners in this year’s renewal have just 9lb between them on official ratings, so it is a fiendishly competitive event. Check out the Rowland Meyrick Chase tips from SportsLens experts below… Seven-year-olds have a particularly strong recent record in this race.

The favourite has only obliged twice in nine runnings since 2011, so looking beyond the market leader on horse racing betting sites may be wise. Race-fit horses tend to win the Rowland Meyrick Chase with eight of the last nine successful coming to Wetherby of...
