Ultima Handicap Chase 2019

Skipthecuddles
Very interesting runner @33s
8yo.
festival form 8th ballymore.
Some good form/santini etc.
recorded highest RPR over 3 miles.
1st season novice chaser.
140 rated.
trainer/jockey negative.
Worth an EW punt for me in an awful Ultima that lacks quality.

On My Shortlist , wasn't sure it would run , After Not many left - coral cup , I'm edgy
backing anything in a handicap.
 
33/1 NRNB what not to like BigChaang?
My Problem , but did mine ( coral cup )with Hill's - so no N.R.N.B !, Yeah , probably give it a go ,
imagine if it won and i hadn't covered it :sorrow:.

Its such an open race BC
On the WH thing, I've had a few of those "any race" bets that have been binned:sorrow:
 
Yes , Better to look at the big picture i suppose , we know the risks , If you nail a big price winner ,
then it's happy days.

This the head-to-head selection versus Minella Rocco then Doc?

Fair play to you for not going for an easy option.:encouragement:

No Kev.
Im going for Singlefarmpayment for the £20 charity bet.
I haven't backed him, but might on the day.

My only bet in this race at the moment is Skipthecuddles @33s ew
 
Coo Star Sivola is in amazing form...just got to get to Tuesday in one piece now.

Glad to hear that.... would be some buzz if he can go back to back :)
 
This is the race that is doing my nut in more than most. I like about 10 in it. Backed Coo Star ages ago and gone in on Mr Whitaker but want 2 more Each Way and cannot make my mind up.

Jerrysback, calipto or crucial role.
 
Sorry if this is boring, but Nicholls today (winning the Imperial) shows us just how good he is at placing and preparing his horses

I didnt rate later years novices, and I'm not keen on backing a well tried horse for this. 3 miles handicap chase is screaming 'take a look a what Nichols' has... and he happens to have won which hasnt been caught out by the handicapper (IMO)

Give Me A Copper was carrying 11-11 for his first year in donkeys over at Sandown and he was fairly keen during the first few furlongs. He jumped and travelled well. This was a blow out for a big race - I dont think this was the orginial plan for Nicholls, I feel he wanted to get this one out to win a nice big handicap during the earlier part of the season.... but since then he has had his eyes on this one.

I think this horse will win, and win well. I was hoping to go pick out a double figure winner here... but siding with the fav here
 
It’s taken until now for me to fancy one in this but I’ve finally found something to throw a few quid at. It was one of the only races I hadn’t a clue on and as it’s the festival, I bet every race (especially as I’m there for the week).

With it likely being soft ground.. and the step up in trip surely helping him, it’s Jerrysback I think for me. Each way 14/1 that’ll do nicely

Up For Review will halve in price if it's declared. 20-1 NRNB now.
146 is vary handy mark all things considered.
Last run was interesting.
Townend likely to ride I'd imagine.
