Molson Coors Handicap Hurdle (Div 1)

Off time: 14:27 | Winning time: 5m 35.30s

Jelski^p²²

Age: 7| Weight: 12-1| J: Charlotte Jones⁽⁵⁾| T: James Moffatt| OR: 102

7/2

Without a win since 2019 but has shown a bit here in recent starts from reduced mark and drops further in grade now.

Form: 8P-654P

Native Choice⁴⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-12| J: Ross Chapman| T: R Menzies| OR: 99

7/2

Showed ability in bumpers and, having seemingly been brought along with handicaps in mind in this sphere, has caught the eye in a couple 2 months apart. This step up in trip will suit. Interesting.

Form: 55946-7

Article Fifty^p,t⁴⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 11-8| J: D B Hurst⁽¹⁰⁾| T: G Bewley| OR: 95

16/1

Winner of a handicap chase at Kelso early in 2020, but has rather lost the plot this year, up there for a good way but pulled up for a third successive start back over hurdles last time.

Form: P63P-PP

Rock On Tommy^t1²²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: Aidan Coleman| T: O Murphy| OR: 91

9/2

Has shown a bit and should come into his own over a trip like this, upped markedly from 2m here on the back of his return 3 weeks ago. Tongue tie also fitted. One to consider.

Form: 57488-6

Red Ochre^p³⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 10-8| J: Sean Quinlan| T: C Grant| OR: 81

11/2

Long-standing maiden on another career-low mark here. In the process of running poorly when departing back over fences at Hexham 5 weeks ago. This is the longest trip he's tackled.

Form: 26P2-4U

On We Go^v²²

Age: 8| Weight: 10-7| J: Alison Clarke⁽⁷⁾| T: Kenny Johnson| OR: 80

14/1

Winless since early-2020, but did seem to excel herself from way out of the weights in this headgear quickly back over hurdles (25.4) here last time. This looks tougher.

Form: 66P-0P4

Grand Enterprise^p,t²³⁴

Age: 11| Weight: 10-5| J: Jamie Hamilton| T: H Hogarth| OR: 78

10/1

Had been knocking on the door before finishing down the field in a big-field Doncaster handicap when last seen in November. Might need this.

Form: 262228-

Excalibur^p³¹

Age: 8| Weight: 10-2| J: Emma Smith-Chaston⁽⁷⁾| T: Micky Hammond| OR: 75

7/1

Returned to form after 8 weeks off when second at Market Rasen (20.6f) under this rider last month. More needed in this deeper-looking contest.

Form: 0U54P-2

Crakehall Lad^b³³⁷

Age: 10| Weight: 10-0| J: J Kington| T: A Crook| OR: 73| C

50/1

Sole win over hurdles was gained in the opening maiden on this card 5 years ago. Not in much form when last seen last summer and can only be watched after another absence.

Form: 7273/60-

Leannes Lady²²

Age: 9| Weight: 10-0| J: Danny McMenamin| T: A Berry| OR: 67

66/1

Little sign of ability (including on Flat).

Form: P335/0-6

Forecasts

Jelski (7/2), Native Choice (7/2), Rock On Tommy (9/2), Red Ochre (11/2), Excalibur (7/1), Grand Enterprise (10/1), On We Go (14/1), Article Fifty (16/1), Crakehall Lad (50/1), Leannes Lady (66/1)

ROCK ON TOMMY catches the eye upped massively in distance fitted with a tongue tie, and he looks like he has a bigger effort in him. Native Choice has a similar profile and probably has more in the locker, while it would be no surprise to see James Moffatt's Jelski pop up in a race like this here soon.
