Molson Coors Handicap Chase

Off time: 15:44 | Winning time: 6m 35.69s

Lights Are Green²⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 12-0| J: Jonathon Bewley⁽³⁾| T: G Bewley| OR: 98| BF| CD

2/1

C&D winner who continues on the up over fences, very good third of 6 in handicap chase at Hexham (24.2f, good) 27 days ago. Merits consideration off an unchanged mark.

Form: 33F-113

Carrigeen Konini^h⁵⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 11-6| J: Alice Stevens⁽⁷⁾| T: Micky Hammond| OR: 90

14/1

Modest maiden over hurdles in Ireland for Elizabeth Anne Lalor and debut for this stable was uninspiring. Has a bit to prove.

Form: P3506-P

Whataboutyeh^t³⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 10-10| J: Jonathan England| T: S England| OR: 80| BF

6/4

Won Southwell handicap hurdle in April and far from disgraced both runs over fences since, second of 7 in handicap chase at Market Rasen (23.9f, good) 39 days ago. Still low mileage and needs considering eased 1 lb.

Form: 8091-42

Big Gangsta^t³⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 10-5| J: Charlotte Jones⁽³⁾| T: James Moffatt| OR: 75

13/2

Lightly-raced maiden hurdler who came in well held on his chasing debut when seventh of 9 to Lights Are Green in handicap chase at this C&D (good) 34 days ago. Irish point winner so could still take a step forward.

Form: 1/2P5P-7

Twistedfirestarter^b,t¹⁰²

Age: 7| Weight: 10-2| J: Philip Armson⁽³⁾| T: D Pipe| OR: 72

13/2

Remains a maiden under both codes and he was pulled up in handicap chase at Southwell (24.3f, soft) 102 days ago on his final run for Richard Spencer. Stable switch needs to yield major improvement.

Form: 79F/U5P-

Absolutely Dylan^p¹³

Age: 10| Weight: 10-2| J: Sean Quinlan| T: J Parkinson & S Smith| OR: 69

28/1

On a long losing run and he has been pulled up over hurdles at Uttoxeter and back chasing at Hereford on his last two runs. Hard to fancy.

Form: 60/47-PP

Old Page¹⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 10-2| J: Alison Clarke⁽⁷⁾| T: A Sadik| OR: 64

33/1

A winner in Irish points but he remains with little form under Rules, cheekieces tried when pulled up in handicap chase at Worcester last time. It's easy to look elsewhere.

Form: 43P5-PP

Forecasts

Whataboutyeh (6/4), Lights Are Green (2/1), Prince Cleni (2/1), Twistedfirestarter (13/2), Big Gangsta (13/2), Humps And Bumps (10/1), Carrigeen Konini (14/1), Absolutely Dylan (28/1), Old Page (33/1)

PRINCE CLENI hasn't looked back since sent over fences and is fancied to defy a 6 lb rise in the weights and follow up his Southwell success. C&D winner Lights Are Green also arrives on the up and rates a big threat, while Market Rasen runner-up Whataboutyeh merits consideration too with few miles still on the clock.
