This is always one of the most competitive three-mile handicap chases of the season and this year's is no exception.
At the time of writing the layers were calling 7/1 the field. I'm going to go for a bit of value and side with Kiltealy Briggs each-way here. The Jamie Snowden-trained eight-year-old is has only raced nine times over fences, winning two and being placed in four others.
He's very much still unexposed and on an upward curve, as his form figures will testify. Third to Bravemansgame in the Grade 1 Kauto Star Novices' Chase (3m) over Christmas, he improved again when scoring at Musselburgh in novices' company last time.
He already has a positive Cheltenham Festival experience under his belt, when a respectable ninth of 21 behind The Shunter in last year's Plate.
He stayed three miles over hurdles but he's had few attempts at this trip so far and that could be key in eliciting the improvement required to win this.
So to recep, it's Kiltealy Briggs as an each-way play in the Ultima (14:50) at Cheltenham on Tuesday.
