Brian Ellison: trainer of Destiny Blue

Timeform take you through each of the runners in this handicap over Redcar's straight mile.

Two For Two was a winner twice in France at up to 9f, bought by new connections for ¤11,000 since latest run in October. Burgeoning yard adept at improving new recruits so well worth consideration.

Kalk Bay got back to winning ways over further here and at Beverley last summer. No great record fresh and should come on for this reappearance with trip likely to be sharp enough.

Barren Brook proved more miss than hit last term, but starts this campaign on a potentially good mark as a result. Ran respectably when seventh in Lincoln on last year's reappearance and not discounted.

Destiny Blue was fairly useful for Jamie Osborne in 2011, and more to like about comeback third over C&D earlier in the month for new yard after some disappointing runs over jumps. Big player.

Ascription is a half-brother to a couple of smart 1m winners who cost ¤400,000 as a yearling. Won 1m Haydock handicap last summer and still unexposed starting out for new trainer with tongue tie reached for.
 
Bling King proved consistent after scoring over 1m during a French campaign in 2012. Well treated on his 2 wins as a juvenile in Britain and may have needed recent return here.

Oddysey won handicaps at Ayr (7f) and Haydock (1m) last summer. Ended season in fine form but needed reappearance last June so maybe best watched off career-high mark on this occasion.

Fazza added to his tally in the mud at Thirsk over this trip a year ago. Possible to put forward excuses for subsequent defeats and yard had several run well first time up last week.

Warfare didn't really go on from his win at Ascot (1m, soft) early last season and well held on return to turf at Doncaster last month. More needed now fitted with blinkers.

Azrael gained reward for his consistency with ready success from the front at Yarmouth (1m) earlier this month, finding plenty. Should go well again after 2 lb rise.

Hakuna Matata improved fitted in headgear last year, winning at Carlisle (1m). Not ruled out off fair mark on reappearance.

Timeform 1-2-3:
1. Destiny Blue
2. Azrael
3. Ascription

Timeform view: Yarmouth winner Azrael should go well again, but Destiny Blue caught the eye on his first run for Brian Ellison here earlier in the month and looks set for a big effort. Barren Brook, the unexposed Ascription, and Two For Two are others to consider.
