The ULTIMA Handicap Steeplechase

[Quevega]

Money finally arriving for whistle stop tour, which is decent news as the stables other horse Myretown had been shorter.
Whistle stop also had the NH chase & Kim Muir entries so wondered if they'd split them.
But Scudamore's recent chat seems to have encouraged a bit of support.

Doubt they'll run two, so likely myretown going elsewhere.

I must admit ive been backing BB at 14s and 12s for a few weeks now. Potential it goes off as FAV! I remember backing him for last years festival and even was thinking about gold cup for this year, was really behind their stable vibes since November 23!
I think the decision about whether he should do the front running this time will be key

Was a fairly good case too wasn't it - albeit quite brief

Was already on but went in again at the 25/1 ante post price

Ella McNeill on Final Furlong podcast thinks Masaccio will go to the Ultima if the ground is decent and if it is bottomless, he will head to the Nov Chase.

Pocket talk alert - Wrong race.

Bottomless or decent...think shes going be unlucky with that forcast, imo they'll make sure the first race will be a spring soft, then a bit of good-sft will creep in during the day for the later races.

22 chase starts..highest mark won off 135 ,would have gone close off 146 ,with a 5lb claimer, 142 in Tuesday, wouldnt say shes badly handicapped at all, but also wouldnt say shes well in either. Good course form is maybe worth a couple of lbs 142 seems about right couldnt put people off but not a worthy fav imo.
just noticed shes a Malinas mare, deserves a bit of a bump up for that to be fair..good bet at the bigger prices..

The Ultima has been the plan from day 1 this season and the Family sponsor the race so I can't see them changing their minds now. Hopefully Kings horses are all over the bug they've had in the yard now.

You’re mistaken there. I know that the plan last week was very unlikely to go to ultima. Now, sadly Niall has passed, but I don’t believe that the plans have changed

King in the weekender today says his Ultima horse will be that Graduer or however you spell it and that the Mcneill horse will be over middle distance later in the week.
