2026 Ultima Handicap

Anyone think Imperial Saint is overpriced here ?
Confirmed today so clearly an intent to run though I wonder who they will put up top...

Thought someone mentioned they were going to Aintree with him, I was interested, but put off by them comments.

I'll have to find what was said now.

Yeah let me know when you find the comments please, would seem an odd confirmation if there's no intention to run....

Just had a quick look on Twitter, it's not on there, so I can only imagine it's on a Cheltenham Preview (unlikely as I've not watched many) or some ante post series I have watched. That'll take some finding though 🤦‍♂️

I might just wait to see if he is declared.

Thanks for the heads up. I’m on him too, NRNB thabkfully. Otherwise I may just be relying on the naiad
 
From the Stable Tour last month - assuming this was before National weights came out, as he needs 17 to come out to get a run

“The plan is very much to run him in the Ultima before going to the Grand National at this stage, but there are a lot of variables in between.

“He was winning over two miles early on last season as he showed plenty of speed, but we thought after his run in the December Gold Cup at Cheltenham that a step back up in trip around a tight track like Haydock Park would suit him well, and sure enough it did.

“If we are going to go for a Grand National he will need to see out three miles around Cheltenham, but I think he will stay the trip no problem."

Nico was jocked up on Hyland earlier today and now isn’t. Has anyone heard anything? Just seem strange to go to the trouble of taking him off

You forgot one….Montregard.

Montregard isn't still in the Ultima as far as I can see.

He is though 2nd favourite for the Midlands National so, as you'd expect with a JP horse, he does have options.
 
Aye he got taken out the Ultima yesterday.

On the unibet preview Nicky said he preferred Kim Muir for Hyland

Maybe the presence of Iroko, Jagwar and Handstands has put them off? Those 3 look Classy individuals .

Fox jocked up on Myretown. Should keep me from doing a FOMO bet on the day...

Just got that one standout performance when he didn't ride. Had to get rid. Take him on, and he looks an accident waiting to happen.
 
I'm hearing that Cobden will be on Jagwar, nothing confirmed but that's what is going round
