R.J. King & Sons Handicap

Won at Epsom last April significantly after a 7-month break but failed to kick on after that. He was well beaten on all-weather when last seen but crucially returns from 173 days off with stable in good form and has a top jockey booked.

Recorded back-to-back wins at Chepstow and Salisbury last summer but flopped when seventh of 8 at Leicester in October. Off since but won over C&D on reappearance each of the last 2 years so merits considerable respect.

Won emphatically over 9f at Wolverhampton last November before creditable fifth of 10 over 1¼m at Lingfield in January. Back down to 1m after 85 days off and isn't long with this stable so isn't without hope back on turf.

In good form with 3 wins in the last 6 months, all on all-weather. Hood removed for this drop back to 1m and still looks well enough treated after small rise in the weights, but she's not always looked the most straightforward and is yet to win on turf which tempers enthusiasm.

Still a maiden after 14 starts but ran creditably when fifth of 13 in a handicap at Kempton 18 days ago following a 4-month break. Some of last year's in-frame efforts have worked out well so he could figure in the finish.

Without a win in 21 starts and hardly the most trustworthy individual, but he's ran well on several of his reappearances so that gives a glimmer of hope starting out for new yard.

Much the least exposed of these and showed a fair level of ability in maiden/minor events last year. Didn't improve straight away for the switch to handicaps on final 3-y-o outing, but looked better than the result that day and may still have more to offer at some stage. Returns from 187 days off.

Finally broke his duck for Alice Haynes at Yarmouth last May and followed that with a couple of good seconds. Recent debut for new stable wasn't encouraging, though, and has plenty to prove back down markedly in trip and again racing without hood (often races freely).

Won in February and March, both at Wolverhampton prior to good second of 9 at Newcastle 9 days ago. Returns to turf here but has a win over C&D to his name and looks set to continue his good run of form here.

Tried hurdling over the winter but was persistently headstrong and finished tailed off when last seen in December. Returns to Flat with hood and tongue strap removed and plenty to prove starting out for a new yard.

Topped off a good winter with a win at Wolverhampton over 7f 33 days ago. Has a higher grade to contend with back on turf from 4 lb higher mark, but the fact he's won at this track previously gives some hope.
