Ultima Handicap Chase Tips
Phil Anderson: Meetingofthewaters has a fairly obvious chance but his price has probably gone and with BoyleSports offering five places, it’s worth chancing one at a bigger price.
The recent rain that has come is a massive bonus for Famous Bridge . He was travelling as well as any of his rivals before an unlucky unseat in the Grand National trial at Haydock last time and that was an uncharacteristic mistake, brushing through the top of a fence before failing to get the landing gear out.
This is a race connections target and he’ll be sticking to his task well when others are faltering.
Tip: Famous Bridge
Keith Melrose: The race that follows is the Ultima and we can only hope that Weveallbeencaught 's fortunes since the start of 2024 have been better. He has not run this year but showed enough promise in getting relevant course experience at the October, November and December meetings at Cheltenham. He has been saved for the festival ever since and is surely better than a mark of 134.
