12/1
Winner of a Windsor maiden when trained by Richard Hannon but much more moderate form for his current trainer, and it would be something of a surprise to see him record a second career win here.

Won on his seasonal reappearance at Newcastle in March (5f, standard), but that was his first win since August 2015. Difficult to get too excited about his recent form, though he is certainly now slipping to a dangerous handicap mark and should be able to compete for a place.

10/1
C&D winner who had been lacking the ability she had shown last year so far this season up until her last run, which hinted at a revival. May have been flattered by a small field there but still cannot be totally ruled out.

Consistent sort when with previous yards but hasn't fired since winning on stable debut for his current handler. Perhaps a little too high in the weights, though is 2-4 in a visor, which is reapplied now.

7/2
Keeps on running solid races in defeat but seemingly unable to take advantage of a gradually diminishing handicap mark. Yet to win (or finish second), since scoring on her handicap debut, and is therefore difficult to recommend, despite the fact she clearly has some ability.

5/1
Slightly lower in the weights now than when getting off the mark at Chelmsford last August, and is a little inconsistent. Would be in with a chance on one of her better days, but as it is others hold more convincing claims.

7/4
Ran well in her first two races in handicaps, before appearing to not see out 7f at Kempton last time. Holds strong claims now dropped back to this trip, racing off what looks to be a workable handicap mark.

Forecasts

Wotadoll (7/4), Canadian Royal (11/4), Whiteley (7/2), Manipura (5/1), Malaysian Boleh (8/1), Ambitious Icarus (9/1), Sakhee's Jem (10/1), Deciding Vote (10/1), Torment (12/1), Leith Bridge (12/1)

Verdict

Particularly if Yorkshire Rover can boost the form of his handicap debut by running well in the first division of this race, then CANADIAN ROYAL makes plenty of appeal. He was clearly below the standard required when racing in maidens but made a very promising start to his handicap career when beaten only a head by that aforementioned rival, and should be capable of further progression in a race that looks like it should suit him well. Now dropped back down to this trip Wotadoll could be next best, ahead of handicap debutant Deciding Vote.
