The Subaru's may struggle - by missing yesterday's test they'll have limited set-up information about the car and track?
Neal's P3 in last year's qualy was with 75kg on so previous form suggests he should go well.
I can see another strong Mercedes weekend too going on past form.

The MG's were P4 and P5, so will have some setup data to take into the race despite missing the test.
The leading Subaru was Turks in P13, with Plato as far back as P21 nearly 1.5s off pole - so it doesn't look promising on that score.

Have the Subarus had any running at Thruxton since Qualy in 2016?
