Lultimatom is set to make some waves at Fakenham this Monday, with a run in the 2m 3y Race 7 Racing TV Open Maiden NH Flat Race at 15:45. With the going listed as Good to soft-soft in places, this 5-year-old gelding, trained by W P Mullins and ridden by Mr P W Mullins, looks to shine with a strikingly short live price of 1.4. It seems the betting market has high hopes, indicating he might just trot home ahead effortlessly. No previous victories to report yet, but that's expected in a maiden race. The team of W P Mullins and Mr P W Mullins has shown some decent form recently, with a 30-day strike rate of 24% for the trainer and an impressive 67% for Mr P Mullins over the past 14 days. The few outings on the track haven't given much away yet, but the strong team stats suggest this lad could well be worth a wager. Eastern Fire, another 5-year-old gelding, stands next in line with a value live price of 6. Trained by Dan Skelton and piloted by Tristan Durrell, his unproven track record in maidens hints at potential yet to be tapped. The Skelton stable has been performing well, notching a 19% win rate over the last 30 days. Though Eastern Fire hasn't broken his maiden yet, given the trainer's knack for preparing winners, a surprise could be on the cards. Jockey Tristan Durrell hasn't been setting the world alight recently, with a modest 14% win rate over two weeks, so a bit of faith might be needed here. All Good To Go rounds out as a long shot with hefty odds of 26, combining the efforts of trainer A M Hales and jockey Harry Bannister. This pair hasn't been lighting up the stats sheets, with the trainer's 30-day win rate sitting at a low 6%. It’s a bit of a skeptical choice perhaps, best left to those feeling particularly lucky or fans of extreme outsider bets. Taking everything into account, my money’s on Lultimatom – the lineup screams his win, the odds favour him, and the trainer-jockey combo is enough to give anyone confidence. He looks set to claim his first victory and maiden titles tend to favour those with top connections. So, set your watches for 15:45 and see if Lultimatom lives up to the hype! Remember to bet wisely and keep it fun – may the best horse win!
