    I’ve not requested it yet as I’m still working on shortlists at present.

      I've just asked Paddy Power and Bet365 to price PTC for the Paddy Power Plate. Haven't asked for the Ultima though

                The Ultimate Superhero

                Have to say Stuart Williams makes a good case for Does He Know and when you add in that the horse is English trained with top notch Cheltenham experience and a highest RPR at 3m+
                it's one that has to be taken seriously.

                Snippet from the Kim Bailey newsletter below:

                October welcomed the return of Does He Know, first time over fences at Chepstow he won impressively, even with his naughty antics in the paddock beforehand. He has become a bit of handful in the pre race stages and he now has to be mounted in the pre parade ring before going straight out onto the course, he also wears a bright red hood which makes him look like a superhero! Returning to Cheltenham, one of his favourite tracks, he won well having given the competition incorrect directions, he then returned to Cheltenham in November where he finished second it a hot contest.

                  Happygolucky is a much better horse and couldn't win off 147 so Does He Know isn't one for me off the same mark.

                    A fair few Ultima candidates with entries now - either for this weekend or next. Remastered entered at Lingfield and Haydock this weekend, would be very interested in him at Cheltenham off current mark but wouldn't want it to go up too much!

                      He has got a little bit of wiggle room, I'd be fairly happy if he could go close without winning either and then have a crack at the Ultima.

                        The problem for me is that it's pretty clear that if he's declared and run well he's not being aimed at the Ultima. I had no issue going for the other Haydock race (Tommy Whittle?) as it made sense to see where they were, but he either wins this weekend when there's a decent pot of money available or he's just not got as much in hand as we thought I'd say. If he's declared, I'm going to start cashing a few bets out.

                          Come On Teddy running today @Newcastle. Maybe he can post a best RPR over 3m today and nail that stat. Much to like about this horse (fancied by a few on here)

                          Oooops not a 3m race today.

                            Cloth Cap now rated 9lb lower than peak mark of 156 over fences.

                              Peak was 162, as he was hammered for the Kelso win, but got in the Nash off 148. Was then dropped down to 156, without running off his peak mark. 15lb off within a year - handicapper is giving him a real chance.
