Race 3 – The Ultima Handicap Chase (Grade 3)

Tuesday 13 March 2018

There aren’t any pre-race photographs as, to minimise damage to the course due to the heavy (soft in places) going conditions, the runners headed straight to the starting gate rather than canter up in front of the stands before doing so.
