Timeform examine the credentials of each runner in a 14-furlong handicap at Southwell on Tuesday...

Arr' Kid was very impressive on his fibresand debut last month and although he has been beaten since, the return to this track should be in his favour.

Lyric Street was useful at his best on the Flat, for all he was below par in 2013. Shown promise over hurdles for this yard in 2014 but took heavy fall last time and best watched on return to Flat. Fibresand debut.

Royal Alcor added to his tally when landing Wolverhampton handicap at this trip earlier in the month and similar form at the same track last week. Fully effective on this surface and place claims.

Recession Proof missed 30 months after a productive jumps campaign in 2010-11. The odd effort that suggests he retains some ability in the last 6 months but still a risky proposition for now.

Storm Hawk's form took off switched to fibresand in the 2011-12 AW season, winning 4 times here (3 over C&D). 2 lb lower than for the last of those successes but not been seen for nearly 2 years and risky.

Returntobrecongill has proven well suited by this surface, winning over 11f here in December. Slightly disappointing since and has to prove he stays this far but doesn't look handicapped out of things.

Noguchi won a pair of AW claimers for Michael Murphy last spring, including here. Well held on stable debut and didn't need to be anywhere near his best to land 2m claimer last time. This demands more.

Arr' Kid left his previous form behind him when running away with 2m handicap here on first experience of fibresand. Not so good at Wolverhampton last time but this should see him in a better light.

Carlanda was a fairly useful performer at her best in her native France and quickly found her feet for new yard, runner-up over C&D on her last 2 starts. No obvious reason why she wouldn't give her running once again.

Timeform 1-2-3:
1. Arr' Kid
2. Carlanda
3. Royal Alcor

Timeform View: Arr' Kid was very impressive on his fibresand debut last month and although he has been beaten since, the return to this track should be in his favour. He has more to offer on the surface, as befits his pedigree, and can prove too strong for Carlanda and Royal Alcor.
