2026 William Hill Handicap Hurdle contenders and tip

Another competitive full-field handicap, this three-mile contest is hard to choose from with 22 going to post. 

Olly Murphy’s Hold The Serve has recently completed a hat-trick and could be able to keep up the good work on his second only start over this trip, ridden by Coral ambassador Sean Bowen. 

Supremely West won the Pertemps at Cheltenham but looks hard pressed to repeat the form here, given a hefty resulting rise in the weights. 

Kaka’s Cousin could be a good option, with the pedigree to support his first try over this trip and he supports Jonjo and AJ O’Neill’s in-form yard.

Jeriko Du Reponet was below form last time at Cheltenham in the Fulke Walwyn, and could be better with two fewer furlongs to travel here. He could be an each-way play at double-figure odds. 

Joel Parkinson and Sue Smith’s Get On George is an interesting candidate, despite not being well-supported in the betting market. He was a good second of 17 last time at Sandown, but has yet to complete a race over this trip. The trainers have been having a good season and he could be one for a place at a price. 

Coral’s big-race tip: Get On George each-way at 8/1
