They’ve only got this for a couple of the horses at the moment.

It will be the highest weighted horses that have declared to run. So top 24 in Ultima and top 20 in Close. There might be reserves in case any drop out between now and Tues through injury, vets cert etc.

Bridle jockey and a bridle horse.

The combination of ground and trip might do for Quamino but it is not inconceivable that Cooper might have ended up on the right one.

I was under the impression that the Close Brothers chase was on Tuesday??
 
Highway One O One my main bet for this. I like his profile and thought that run behind Kildisart giving him weight was impressive.

They're talking about the ground for their other horses later in the week (River Wylde - Brown Plate) etc
