Glentham Handicap Chase

Off time: 15:00 | Winning time: 4m 6.3s

Monsieur Co^p,t²⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 12-3| J: C O'Farrell| T: K Dalgleish| OR: 122| D

12/1

Fairly useful chaser who looked as good as ever when winning Kelso handicap over Christmas. He's none too reliable, though, and latest effort at Musselburgh left much to be desired.

Form: 166155

Pull Green⁴¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-11| J: B S Hughes| T: D McCain Jnr| OR: 116| CD

5/1

Hurdles winner here last term and stepped up on chase debut effort when runner-up at Musselburgh in November. Well held in a jumpers bumper since, but remains open to improvement in this sphere.

Form: 13P-520

Article Fifty^t²²

Age: 8| Weight: 11-5| J: Jonathon Bewley⁽³⁾| T: G Bewley| OR: 110| D

50/1

Improved when opening chase account in a 6-runner Kelso handicap last February. However, followed that with a couple of non-completions and well held in a Newcastle jumpers bumper recently.

Form: P41-UP6

Relkadam^p,t⁷^{(ex 7)}

Age: 7| Weight: 11-2| J: Nathan Moscrop⁽³⁾| T: T D Easterby| OR: 100| C

10/11

Capitalised on a drop in the weights/grade when off the mark in a handicap chase here in December. Doubled his tally at Wetherby (15.2f, heavy) last week and obvious claims under a penalty.

Form: 451P31

Halcyon Days^p⁵³

Age: 12| Weight: 11-1| J: Tom Midgley⁽¹⁰⁾| T: R Menzies| OR: 106| CD

8/1

Winner of this race off 6 lb higher mark in 2019, but not at his best so far this season and he looks vulnerable.

Form: 22-6447

Miss Amelia¹⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 11-0| J: Henry Brooke| T: M Walford| OR: 105| D

10/3

Resumed winning ways at Bangor in October and looked better than ever when notching fourth success over fences at Carlisle (15.9f, soft) a fortnight ago. 5 lb rise fair and she merits respect.

Form: F4-3121

Forecasts

Relkadam (10/11), Miss Amelia (10/3), Pull Green (5/1), Halcyon Days (8/1), Monsieur Co (12/1), Article Fifty (50/1)

This is best left to RELKADAM, who dotted up at Wetherby last week and should prove very hard to beat under a penalty. Pull Green remains open to improvement as a chaser, but Miss Amelia arrives here on the back of a career-best display at Carlisle and she is second choice.
