What would you do if say red team clear the ball upfield blue defender jumps and handles ball you blow for free kick but after you blow it falls to red attacker who would be through on goal now if the defender had not handled it would have ran through to gk so has he dogso-h or not red or yellow?

If the attacker would have had an OGSO if the deliberate handling had not occurred, then you send off the defender for DOGSO.
If there's any doubt - ie there may have been another defender able to close down that attacker before he got within shooting range, or he may not have easily been able to control the ball before being challenged, then no DOGSO, but you should still caution.
This is all assuming the attacker was not in an offside position when the ball was cleared.
