Ultima Handicap Chase Tips 2022 (2.50pm Day 1 of the Cheltenham Festival)
Nowadays, the Ultima Handicap Chase, run over 3 miles 1 furlong on the Old Course at Prestbury Park, has the distinction of being the first of nine handicaps staged at the Cheltenham Festival.
Just two favourites – namely Wichita Lineman in 2009 and Coo Star Sivola in 2018 – have won since the turn of the century, but 15 winners in that period featured in the first five in the betting. That statistic alone suggests that, even at this relatively early stage, the head of the market is where we should be looking for a likely winner.
Ultima Handicap Chase, Tuesday, March 15
The score between Does He Know and Threeunderthrufive currently stands at 1-1, but a line through Doyen Breed, whom Does He Know beat most recently in the Reynoldstown Novices’ Chase at Ascot, suggests Kim Bailey’s 7-year-old may have the edge here. He appears versatile, going-wise, and won over course and distance in November, so has plenty going for him.
Selection: Does He Know (7/1 with bet365)
