ULTIMA HANDICAP CHASE (Grade 3) (1) |
Distance: 3m 1f (Old) |
Prize: £61,897 Age: 5yo+ Race Type: Chase | Going: Soft |
A fresh feel to this year's Ultima with many of the field running in a Festival handicap chase for the first time, the first 4 home all second-season chasers, 3 of them having run well in graded novice races here in 2019, easy to take a high view of the form as a result, though the winner had something of a different profile, holding his own in similar contests all season; he travelled well just in behind the pace, probably the ideal spot as it turned out, those that tried to come from the rear typically facing a tough task, while top-weight Vinndication pressed on a bit soon in hindsight.
