15/2
13/2, creditable fifth of 11 in handicap at Southwell (5f) 26 days ago. 2 lb lower now and minor place money looks the most likely scenario.

C&D winner. 11/2, good third of 11 in handicap at Southwell (6.1f) 10 days ago. Blinkers on 1st time and should make his presence felt.

16/1
C&D winner. Eleven runs since last win in 2022. First run since leaving Paul Midgley when tenth of 12 in handicap (22/1) at this course (6f) 12 days ago, not ideally placed. Readily passed over.

10/3
Three wins from 11 runs last year. 9/2, career best when winning 11-runner handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 42 days ago. 2 lb rise fair enough and good chance of following up on debut for new yard.

15/2
C&D winner. Latest win at Wolverhampton in October. 15/2, creditable 1¼ lengths sixth of 11 to King of The Jungle in handicap at this C&D 31 days ago, making effort earlier than ideal. Each-way shout.

7/2
Career best when winning 11-runner handicap at this C&D (15/2) 31 days ago, always holding on. Remains on a good mark up 3 lb and likely to be in the thick of things once more.

Forecasts

Bernie The Bear (10/3), King Of The Jungle (7/2), Urban Dandy (9/2), Henery Hawk (15/2), Dark Crusade (15/2), Phoenix Star (8/1), Glorious Rio (12/1), Golden Rainbow (16/1), Another Angel (28/1)

Verdict

KING OF THE JUNGLE opened his account over C&D last month and a 3 lb rise may not be enough to prevent him from repeating the dose. The consistent Bernie The Bear is likely to give another good account on debut for new yard after scoring over 6f at Wolverhampton on his final start for Richard Fahey, but it remains to be seen if he will appreciate this drop back to the minimum trip. His stablemate Henery Hawk and Urban Dandy are live each-way contenders.
