Ultima Handicap Chase 2019

What’s the news on Rather Be?

He’s very well, thank you. As you know he’s very ground dependant but he’ll be given an entry in a couple of races at Cheltenham and I’m tempted to step him up to three miles.

Thanks Innoko. I assumed he'd be one for the plate but a step up to 3 mile could eek out further improvement. 16/1nrnb taken.
 
Had my 1st bet in this race on Mister Malarky.

I've been chipping away at Ramses de Teillee for this Race , Ran in it last year , and being a race
that David Pipe has had success in , Look's a better horse this year.

like it for this also, will likely back it once I've seen what his mark is on tuesday.
If he gets more than a couple of pounds I'll reconsider.
 
Is there a worry they'll OVER RATE the form of the Mister Malarky race yesterday - as it was a graded race in name only?

They're probably more responsible than that...but he might have a few more lbs than he deserves?
 
Glen Rocco looks interesting if he goes for this.
 
I've backed Ms Parfois today NRNB 16-1
Must be well handicapped.
Been entered up a bit recently but not ran.
I think she's going for the national.
makes sense they would consider this race if she don't prep elsewhere.
If she does turn up she'll be popular for obvious reasons. And single figures I'd guess.

Very much a mud lark by the sounds of of it , would worry 3miles on good-soft might be a bit sharp for her and i'm a fan.

Going to be entered but unlikely to run.
Owner can't make that day (could watch it on telly)
 
My god that is so stupid. No telly? Potentially misses chance of decent pot all because owner can’t be there!

i'm actually gobsmacked by that
