Looked an awkward ride to begin with last season but seemed to have overcome that on last start in September. Had run well for a long way in two maidens and this starting mark in handicaps looks reasonable. Good draw too and market check advised.
No immediate gains from being gelded last summer, though ran well in defeat at Newmarket (1m1f, good to firm) in October. Never involved on return from winter break at Kempton last time. Could be competitive from this mark, though others preferred.
Won a Musselburgh maiden (1m, good) in October before being gelded and also changing from Keith Dalgleish's yard to current one. Handicapper has now dropped him 10lb for his last two runs and with the yard in decent form, he now looks very much one to keep an eye on in the market.
Improved after his debut/being gelded when returning in January over C&D, making the frame in a maiden. Not quite as effective at Southwell since then, but gets in here for handicap debut from a workable mark and not ruled out.
Has run to a similar level of form in all three maidens at both this trip and 6f. Proved his well being after a winter break at Chelmsford last time. Bred in the purple and should do better at three, so really ought to be a leading player from today's starting handicap mark of 69.
Has won two of his last three starts, first at Chelmsford and then showing improvement to score from a mark of 64 at Lingfield last time. Runner-up and third have not done wonders for that form next time out and so whether this gelding can defy a 5lb rise is open to question.
Same mark as when not beaten far at Kempton last time (1m) on his return from a winter break. Drop back to this trip may well be a plus and with fitness proven he can have a big say in the outcome.
Won a handicap over 1m½f at this venue two starts ago but well held over this trip and from this mark last time. Has a worse draw today too, so while not totally ruled out, he could go well without being good enough to win this.
3lb lower today then when putting in his best handicap run to date at Chelmsford (1m) in September. Possibilities if able to reproduce that and make good use of inside draw.

Forecasts
Al Mansor (5/2), Mulzim (5/1), Altiko Tommy (5/1), Hart Stopper (15/2), Bazwind (8/1), Challow (8/1), Stevie Brown (8/1), Aelius (12/1), Tor (14/1), Rita's Man (16/1), Inglorious (20/1), Favourite Royal (33/1)
Favourite Royal looks capable of being competitive on her handicap debut, while Al Mansor and Hart Stopper are others to consider. Tor is one to check on in the market given that the assessor has significantly eased the burden on him, but the suggestion is the well-bred MULZIM, who should be capable of significant improvement at three and is on a very workable mark for his handicap debut.
