Dual winner for Mick Channon as a 2yo, failed to add to those victories since and has been hurdling (unsuccessfully for this yard). Bettered his hurdles form when returning to the Flat at Newcastle (10.2f, slow), needs to build on that run.
Not disgraced on his two outings since racing resumed with his latest start best ignored (failed to get a clear run) at Windsor (8.1f, good). Yet to win a handicap but ought to be capable off this mark off getting involved at this level.
Won both his starts since racing restarted both over 1m on AW/turf on the second occasion improving his good record at Newbury. Up 5lb from last win, clearly thriving (yard in good form), looks vulnerable off this mark though attempting a hat-trick.
Fairly useful handicapper, won on handicap debut/second start for this yard (previously with William Haggas) at Newcastle (7.1f, slow). Respectable efforts after (without winning again), tried over 10.2f last time (ran well), 1m looks too short now.
Shaped as though she would be better for the run on stable debut (was with William Haggas) over C&D after seven months off. AW winner last year (7.1f) off this same mark; trainer/jockey combination have a good record around here, worth noting.
Successful four times since wind surgery winning four AW handicaps (all at Wolverhampton) at up to 9.5f. Not seen on turf (0-5) since last September off a 5lb higher mark (rated lower on turf), needs a strong gallop, yet to prove himself on turf.
Beverley winner (7.4f, good) in the early part of last year off an 8lb higher mark; failed to produce in a string of efforts afterwards over similar trips. Shaped a little better than final finishing position at Yarmouth (7f, firm) last time.
Ayr winner last year (1m, good/firm) for Karl Burke; left the impression that there was better to come for this new yard at Leicester (8.2f, good/firm). Race didn't work out ideally, 3yo form in some places makes him look well weighted here.

A wide-open handicap with plenty of options, Fortune And Glory has made hay since the resumption of racing winning twice but a 5lb rise in the weights make this a tougher assignment. Real Smooth and Critical Time for the Dascombe/Kingscote partnership that can potent around here are worth checking in the market as is the well handicapped Pacino who looked back to form at Yarmouth last time. Mustaqbal ought to be winning something like this given his current mark but so often flatters to deceive. Bell Heather is another to throw in the mix but the speculative suggestion is POWER PLAYER who caught the eye at Leicester last time and is the type Ruth Carr does well with.
