Ultima Handicap Chase 2020

[jono]

Agree on Kildisart being an overreaction after yesterday.
Looks to be coming back into a bit of form, though will need to jump better from yesterday.
But he's a classy horse who finished in front of the 7/1 fav for this race off levels in last years JLT.

I also added Discorama as his claims are obvious.

And finally Lake View Lad
Finished 3rd in the race last season off 155. Rated 154 this year and is his only entry (so happy to go without the NRNB concession)
If as expected Vinndication runs - He'll be effectively running in the race with 6lb lower on his back though which could see an improvement there.

A Toi Phil.
25-1 2pt ew added.

Now rated 144 after running quite a nice race in the Denman chase.
Came 5th off 146 in the pertemps last year, and was once rated in the mid 150's.
Now with Moore, he might just run him here and he'd have a chance.
Got him added a few weeks back and glad he got entered here and the Brown advisory.
B365 pushed it out to 25's today so thought I'd back it now.
No idea what the plans is though but NRNB obviously.

Another nice boost to the Hennessy form with Mister Malarkey winning. The Conditional looks very well handicapped off 139 and every chance its going to be a proper slog which should suit him nicely.

if he got in, he would be close to bottom weight, with 20lbs less weight than Vinndication.

Hard to believe 139 is now touch and go! 131 got in only 3 years ago. Hoping last year was a bit of an exception and not the new rule. Wouldn't be too unhappy if a few Hennessy horses got a pound bump though!

Le Breuil has three entries on Saturday (1 hurdles and 2 chases) , so it may be that his connections are considering his Grand National prep could be away from Cheltenham.

Lovely. Now just pray we get some dry weather!

Kildisart now clipped in to a best price 20/1

That 33/1 was a silly over reaction

[punterorplonker]

Whats the verdict on Kildisarts potential weight ? We talking like 11-5 to 11-8 or something ?

He was over the weekend Kev, I posted it on Sat I think it was

[BigChaang]

I added Know the Score for this and the Kim Muir at the weekend .
Purely on the basis that Pipey had the Ultima winner 2 years in a row recently.
@ 66-1 for both races N, R. N. B .

Mister Malarky up 4 to 151. Think 14/1 with Betfair is very fair.

[billymag]

Will need decent ground for Mister Malarky or that 14/1 might look pretty low, hes a bet id probably wait with as cant see him being that much shorter when you have a better idea nearer the decs.

He was one of my big antepost bets for this along with kildisart, but that 4lbs would now make me think twice about backing him, some them horses behind him at the weekend were running for a better mark, in my opinion on their aintree run, he"s got very little chance of finishing ahead of kildi in this..could be my wallet bemoaning his win and 4lbs though...��
