Highest rated horse to win a handicap chase at the festival?

Handicap entries, when are they out?

Sporazene,County Hdle (151).?

wrong,not a chase!

Garde Champetre won Xcountry off 156

Can't think of one in the normal chase races.   Savello was pretty highly rated of recent winners.

147 Swardean yes.. i cant think of one or havent found one to have won of a mark in the 150's  so i just thought i'd ask the question. There was a horse out yesterday that's a previous winner at the festival that just made me think hmmmmmm after yesterday's performance albeit a couple of contributing factors

Garde Champetre and Balthazar King won the Cross Country with an OR of 150.

Was thinking more of the conventional chases..

Last one was Antonin I think - won the NH Hcp Chase off 150 in 1994. A few higher rated ones have gone close since, as Keen Leader was second in that race off 157 in 2005 and Fondmort was second in the Mildmay of Flete off 159, the year before the Ryanair was introduced into the program.

Unguided Missile won 149

my young man 152 - 1992 grand annual won by a mile

Handicap entries were out 19th Feb last year so something similar I'd guess.

Entries for all handicaps close at noon on Feb 23rd, weights published March 3rd.

what was marlborough off ?

forget that it was a odd race that a horse called pain royal gave everything a stone plus.

he won off 150 at the bula meeting.

141 foxy

thanks slowerthanjohn
