Came good last autumn, winning back-to-back handicaps at Windsor and Chelmsford. 1-1 over this C&D and will strip fitter for reappearance run at Redcar in May, but may need another run or two to reach peak fitness. Others preferred.
Filly that's been highly tried recently, and far from disgraced in a Listed event at Ayr last time, but you have to go back to 2015 for her last win and the handicapper is still giving her a hard time. Plenty on her plate again here.
Nothing if not consistent, and continued his good run of form with another solid effort at Ayr last time Trip and likely ground fine, but suspicion is that the handicapper has him where he wants him for the time being, so may need to progress again to defy him.
Useful sprinter on his day, track and trip both fine and latest effort at Chester forgiven (slowly away, and never got in it). This more suitable and is still only 2lb higher than last win, so not totally discounted if getting away on terms.
Looked to be coming to the boil based on his close second to the useful Sir Billy Wright at Thirsk latest, battling on well once headed. Question would be whether the drop back to 5f will suit, as both wins have come at 6f, but that aside, could go close.
Return of headgear last time produced an improved effort, only picked off late at Newcastle. Unproven on an uphill finish but in good form, and although nudged up 3lb for that last effort, can't be discounted.

A few of these like to crack on with things early, and despite the smallish field this should be run at a true pace. That might suit BOSSIPOP, yet to win at this minimum trip but the uphill finish and solid pace counteract that, to some extent, and he might be able to get his head in front. El Hombre is hard to knock and despite the handicapper now catching up, is still more likely to run his race than a few. Henley may be able to pick up some more place money.
