The ULTIMA Handicap Chase

Plus Sky now won’t offer BOG with the extra place races unlike previous years so they might be tight on their prices.

I read somewhere (honestly can’t remember where) that since Sky introduced the no BOG on extra place races it pays handsomely to bet on the day, with the extra places, and hit the SP button....

I've been doing this and it has proved profitable so far, especially for the horses at big and midrange prices.

Good idea, will think to split stakes and do this.
 
If we get spring ground (increasingly likely given the spell of good weather as forecast for the next ten days or so) I really like One For The Team. He’s been racing (well) in some decent races this season: Kauto Star, and against Next Destination up at Newbury, where he came home with a wet sail. Based on the form of those races, his mark of 140 looks incredibly generous. He’s clearly a good ground horse. That run at Donny was on soft-heavy ground, and it was good to see them not flog him, but ease him down and get a reduction in his OR even.

He’ll have a good jockey on him in Scudamore, and Nick Williams has targetted this race before with Coo Star Sivola. Like him he looks to be heading in to this with a light weight and at least 5-6lbs in hand.

16/1 NRNB seems a good price to me. Especially given the Irish are 0/10 in this race the last decade.

Decs are tomorrow, aren’t they? I’d be surprised if he wasn’t in there with a decent chance of making it in.

The other horse I’d be interested in people’s thought for this, now he hasn’t got a mark to make his original target of the Grand National, is Golan Fortune. Anyone interested. He looks better than a 142 chaser to me too.

Do you know if stake restrictions still apply to bets struck at SP Istabraq ? Don't think I've ever staked at SP in the past
 
Remastered put up to 146.
 
No Coo Star Sivola in here....supposedly.

It's not the official entries, but @ryanOTHx on Twitter is the source.

He's usually very reliable.

Apologies, should have made this clear, but I'm work and saw it so posted. I've edited the post now.

Rocco into 8-1 with PP.

Vintage Clouds entered also,
Prices for him would be interesting.
If anyone can ask PP or BFSB, I'd be grateful.
They won't entertain me.

Price gone mental on Rocco now for this.
Aside from Kealy tipping him, has anything been said by connections ?
Going to be Favourite I reckon.

I made a request with PP for Vintage Clouds but I think I ended up messaging their computerised customer service rep so will keep an eye out for a response

I had a similar experience with BFSB so keep an eye out for Vintage Clouds over the next 48hrs
