Holker Hall & Gardens Handicap Chase

Off time: 14:25 | Winning time: 4m 12.64s

Global Jackpot^t¹⁸⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-12| J: Adam Wedge| T: L Morgan| OR: 115

11/1

Three-time hurdles winner for Gordon Elliott in 2018, but he's 0-13 over fences and offered little in 2 starts for Micky Hammond last year. Best watched on debut for another yard.

Form: 8/35557-

Treshnish^p¹⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 11-7| J: Ryan Mania| T: J Parkinson & S Smith| OR: 110

11/1

Winner of 2 of his 4 starts since undergoing a second wind op, both over 15.6f at Hexham. Still on a good mark despite 4 lb rise for latest success and another bold show on the cards.

Form: P051-F1

Tonto's Spirit²^{(ex 7)}

Age: 9| Weight: 11-10| J: C O'Farrell| T: Mrs Dianne Sayer| OR: 106| BF| CD

11/8

Scored for the third time over this C&D when making virtually all of the running on Monday. Remains on a very attractive mark and won't go down without a fight if turned out again quickly.

Form: 67348-1

Rooster Cogburn^h²⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 11-0| J: James Bowen| T: P & M Bowen| OR: 103| BF| D

4/1

Much improved from chasing debut when easily landing 10-runner Market Rasen handicap chase (17.2f, good) in April. Jumping not so good at Huntingdon next time, but certainly not one to give up on.

Form: P6P/31-2

Court Jurado^b²⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 10-9| J: B S Hughes| T: D McCain Jnr| OR: 98

12/1

Proved consistent prior to getting off the mark at Fakenham in November and has made the frame on each of his 4 subsequent starts in this sphere. However, may again find one or two too good.

Form: 21833-4

Sword Of Fate⁴⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 10-6| J: D R Fox| T: L Kerr| OR: 95| CD

6/1

Winner over this C&D off 1 lb lower mark last summer, but rather in-and-out since and others look stronger.

Form: 236233-

Claret Dabbler^p1³²

Age: 7| Weight: 10-1| J: Danny McMenamin| T: Mrs H O Graham| OR: 90

17/2

Fair form in bumpers and while he failed to make an impact in a handful of runs over hurdles, there were positives to glean from his chase debut at Hexham last month. Now tried in cheekpieces.

Form: 358/34-5

My Renaissance^p,t²²

Age: 11| Weight: 10-0| J: Lewis Stones⁽⁷⁾| T: S England| OR: 83| CD

25/1

Good record at Sedgefield, back on the scoresheet there in September, but recent efforts have lacked spark and no easy task from 6 lb out of the weights.

Form: 3F5P5-6

Forecasts

Tonto's Spirit (11/8), Rooster Cogburn (4/1), Sword Of Fate (6/1), Claret Dabbler (17/2), Global Jackpot (11/1), Treshnish (11/1), Court Jurado (12/1), Ardera Cross (16/1), My Renaissance (25/1)

TRESHNISH's jumping isn't always foot perfect, but he didn't do much wrong in that regard when striking at Hexham recently and a 4 lb rise is unlikely to debar another very bold show from this 8-y-o. If he goes to post Tonto's Spirit will be a big threat following Monday's all-the-way C&D success and Rooster Cogburn, though a shade disappointing last time, is also considered.
