Welcome Back On-Course Bookmakers Jet Master Handicap Hurdle

Off time: 16:15 | Winning time: 4m 2.20s

Uncle Henry^t⁵²

Age: 7| Weight: 12-2| J: Jordan Gainford⁽³⁾| T: G Elliott| OR: 122| D

3/1

Winner of Ballinrobe maiden hurdle in 2020. Was starting to look dangerous when exiting at the third-last in a 2m Cork handicap last time and this Irish raider will be a threat granted a clear round.

Form: 140-7FF

Laskadine¹¹⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: R P McLernon| T: B Haslam| OR: 118| D

12/1

Back on song from reduced mark through the winter, winning over 2m at Newcastle/Sedgefield. Excuses at Cartmel when last seen in May and she should have a part to play here if fully tuned-up.

Form: 1142-24

Beeno^h²⁶

Age: 12| Weight: 11-5| J: C O'Farrell| T: Mrs Dianne Sayer| OR: 111

6/1

Veteran front runner who ran best race for a while when third at Cartmel (17.2f, good) last month. Down another 1 lb and he's certainly not without each-way hope in an open-looking race.

Form: 05-7373

Go Fox^p¹⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: K Brogan⁽⁵⁾| T: P Neville| OR: 110| CD

10/3

Flat winner who opened his account in this sphere over C&D (good) earlier this month. 5 lb rise fair enough and likely to make a bold bid to follow up.

Form: 00/9P-31

Universal Folly²⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-3| J: Danny McMenamin| T: N G Richards| OR: 109

10/3

Yet to get his head in front, but failed by a narrow margin when runner-up at Cartmel (17.2f, good) last month. 4 lb rise tolerable and needs considering, for all that a stiffer test would be ideal.

Form: 226-P42

Gripper^t¹⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 10-12| J: D R Fox| T: W Young Jnr| OR: 104| CD

17/2

Caused a surprise in little time with new yard when opening account over jumps at 20th attempt in maiden hurdle (2m) here last month. However, put in his place in a novice event back here recently.

Form: 276123

My Macho Man^t⁹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 10-8| J: Callum Bewley| T: M A Barnes| OR: 102

28/1

Fair Flat winner for John Quinn and improved third of 13 in a Kelso novice (16.2f, good) on fourth start over hurdles in May. However, well held on C&D handicap debut a month later and absent since.

Form: 65-436

Spark Of Madness¹⁵⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 10-8| J: T Scudamore| T: Miss Lucinda V Russell| OR: 100

16/1

Improved form when third in a novice at Musselburgh in December, but that is very much a standout effort and subsequent displays in handicap company have left much to be desired.

Form: 0/65309-

El Jefe^h¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 10-6| J: Sam Coltherd| T: A B Hamilton| OR: 100

22/1

Went close over this C&D off a 4 lb higher mark in April, but his subsequent efforts sugget that that may have been something of a flash in the pan.

Form: 362-776

Non-Runners

Cancan¹

Weight: 10-8| Age: 5

T: N W Alexander J: Henry Brooke

Forecasts

Uncle Henry (3/1), Universal Folly (10/3), Go Fox (10/3), Beeno (6/1), Cancan (7/1), Gripper (17/2), Laskadine (12/1), Spark Of Madness (16/1), El Jefe (22/1), My Macho Man (28/1)

UNCLE HENRY has a fair bit to find with several of these on all known form, but he caught the eye with the way he moved into contention prior to falling 3 out at Cork last time and could be worth siding with here. Fellow Irish raider Go Fox is a much-respected main danger on the back of his C&D breakthrough success, while Universal Folly and Laskadine are also shortlisted.
