Plenty of guesswork needed as all of these make their handicap debuts. Tizwotitiz and GLORIOUS CHARMER have both been gelded since last in action and both have also raced in soft ground before. But the former never figured so the latter gets the speculative vote on his debut third over 5f at Doncaster back in April. Elsaabiqaat went close on fast going over 6f at Salisbury last time but Across The Sea showed no improvement for the drop down to the minimum trip at Windsor recently and Kingi Compton disappointed in a seller at Goodwood last time.
