      I mentioned him in handicap shortlists. This looks like the only option unless they went for the 4 miler.

      He beat Carlos Du Fruitier 13L giving 3lbs. Carlos Du Fruitier looked like he would improve for the step up in trip when outpaced and staying on behind Glen Forsa at Kempton. Waiting to see what mark he gets for that win.

        Alan King namechecks the Ultima for Dingo Dollar in todays Weekender:

        He needs some rain at Doncaster and I wouldn't run him if the ground was as it was for the last meeting there. In that case he could switch and run in the 2m5f chase at Cheltenham.

        "That may be a little sharp for him, but he needs an outing and that race would give him experience of the course, which would be important as he is a possible for the Ultima Chase at the Festival."
        Strange he mentions the ground and needing rain. I was always under the impression he's best on good ground. Definite interest for me in this race and still available at 25's but that was of the view that the ground went slightly against him in the Ladbroke Trophy, albeit I don't think he would have improved his finishing position just perhaps the distance beat. No disgrace in losing to 2 out and out stayers in Elegant Escape and Sizing Tennesse and he was 15 lengths ahead of the rest.


        Also on earlier mentions - I'd also have no doubt 3m1 will be ok for Jerrysback. Think that'll be the bare minimum he needs to show his best going forward myself. 40's is a big price for this imo however I do have slight concerns with Cheltenham / going left handed for him

            Dingo Dollar was the one I had my eye on for this.

            Very very tempted to pull the trigger

              I'm pretty sure the trainer said Dingo Dollar is better on a flatter track and Cheltenham wouldn't suit as much in the past.

              I'm a big fan of the horse, backed him in the Ladbroke and I'm on at a nice ew price for the Slybet Chase this weekend so I hoe he does run and win that.

              Talk of the Ultima comes out of the blue from memory

                  He could blow his mark this weekend MoM. I like him and he's well handicapped but an impressive performance on Saturday will make his task much more difficult.

                    That's my worry.

                    I am expecting him to win this decent pot, and end up going for the Scottish National again

                      You have a great bet for this weekend Kev. He's going to go off v short.

                        Fwiw Max McNeill says Chosen Path is the horse he is aiming for this race.

                          Think this one won't be popular in the market if King sends Talkischeap too so can envisage being decent price on the day still.

                            I thought Talkischeap hadn't been entered for this

                                Talkischeap would still be fine to get in the Ultima, no matter what he does today. Although the weight may be an issue though.

                                On The Blind Side could end up in handicap like the Ultima should he not show much today, also.

                                I like Mister Whitaker for this, though I am after a NRNB price, as they spoken about the Ryanair & Gold Cup which I don't think he is anywhere near good enough for.
