Robbie Power joins us to give his best bets for the Ultima Handicap on Day 1 of the 2020 Cheltenham Festival.
2.50 Ultima Handicap Chase
It’s always a very competitive handicap. Mister Malarkey was an impressive winner in Kempton the 3 mile handicap chase there, drying ground would suit.
He was fourth in last year’s RSA which is good course form also.
My fancy for the race is Discorama, Paul Nolan’s runner. He was second in the 4-miler last season so 3m1f should be ideal for him around Cheltenham on soft ground as well which is suitable.
Best Bet: Discorama (8/1)
