The Ultima Handicap Chase is the first handicap race on the Cheltenham Festival schedule.
It is a stamina-sapping contest run over 3m1f on the Old Course at Prestbury Park and typically attracts horses that go on to contest the Grand National.
Corach Rambler weaved through the field to land last year’s renewal and is bidding to retain his crown and claim the £70,337 top prize on offer.
You can run the rule over our Ultima Handicap Chase odds on the Paddy Power website and Paddy Power app, otherwise all the key details about this year’s renewal can be found below.
