Verdict

The form of the maiden won by KHARBETATION last July is working out well, with the second and fifth winning since and a couple of other fair handicappers coming out of the race. When considering that the selection was 5L clear of the runner-up, who himself was 10L clear of the third (this was over only a mile on good ground), then he looks the likeliest winner of this by a long stretch if overcoming the absence since (and the consequently high opening handicap mark). King's Pavillion has stepped down in class recently and is also recently, as well as C&D winner Nicholas T.
