Lethal Guest²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-10| J: C J McGovern⁽³⁾| T: Ollie Pears| OR: 62

25/1

Promising efforts on the AW earlier this year but struggled at Musselburgh (1m1f, good) when last of nine earlier this month when returning from a break. Drop in trip in his favour.

Form: 2004-69

Antico Lady⁹^{(ex 6)}

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Ben Robinson⁽³⁾| T: B Ellison| OR: 55

5/6

Broke her maiden when winning by 5L over an extended 1m at Wolverhampton recently. Carries a 6lb penalty for that victory and remains open to improvement on just her third start on turf.

Form: 78-5321

(8)

Melgate Majeure¹⁸¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Toby Eley⁽⁷⁾| T: M & D Easterby| OR: 59| D

7/1

Won both starts at Newcastle since switched to the AW. Most recent victory came over this trip at the end of November and he is worth a check in the market on seasonal debut.

Form: 846311-

Klipperty Klopp³⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Cam Hardie| T: A Brittain| OR: 57

18/1

12 race maiden finished a fair fifth in a 7f handicap at Wolverhampton last month. Hasn't convinced in two previous starts at this distance.

Form: 9-20555

(9)

Spiritual Boy^p1¹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: D Nolan| T: D O'Meara| OR: 56

20/1

Finished a decent fourth over 1m at Redcar (good-to-firm) on seasonal debut last month. Failed to replicate that effort in two subsequent starts and cheekpieces are tried for the first time.

Form: 868-490

(1)

Neileta²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: J Garritty| T: T D Easterby| OR: 54

8/1

First start since being gelded when finishing fifth over an extended 7f at Beverley (good) on seasonal debut earlier this month. Looks likely to appreciate this slight step up in trip.

Form: 990-5

(3)

Dothraki¹³⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: A Elliott| T: Ronald Thompson| OR: 53

80/1

Beaten 9¾L when finishing third over 1m at Southwell at the end of December and struggled over 7f at the same venue the following month. Others make more appeal on return from a break.

Form: 58073-0

(14)

Supreme Dream²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Rachel Richardson| T: Ollie Pears| OR: 52

50/1

Well beaten tenth of 12 over an extended 7f at Beverley (good) when making her seasonal debut earlier this month. Probably best watched at present.

Form: 00389-0

Laura Louise^p1⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Rowan Scott⁽³⁾| T: N Tinkler| OR: 52

40/1

Struggled in five starts so far including in handicap company twice this spring. Probably best watched with cheekpieces tried for the first time.

Form: 770-88

(6)

Angel Sarah²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: P Hanagan| T: R A Fahey| OR: 49

18/1

Well held on all four appearances so far most recently when eighth of 14 over 1m at Redcar (good-to-firm) on handicap and seasonal debut at the start of this month.

Form: 760-8

(10)

The Big House³¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: A Mullen| T: Adrian Nicholls| OR: 48

12/1

Placed once from seven starts and struggled in a 6f handicap at Thirsk (good) last month. Others make more appeal upped in trip on debut for this stable.

Form: 9835-80

(7)

Seafaring Girl²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: Connor Murtagh⁽⁵⁾| T: D M Loughnane| OR: 48

40/1

Finished 53L tenth of 11 over 1m at Southwell last time out. Previously beaten 10½L when sixth over 7f at the same venue and others hold more obvious claims.

Form: 5060-60

(12)

Piccolita²²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-7| J: Barry McHugh| T: H Morrison| OR: 45

20/1

Beaten 13L when runner-up in a 6f novice contest at Wolverhampton in February. Failed to figure in three subsequent starts and probably best watched on turf return.

Form: 0-2807

(5)

Two For Three^p1²⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-7| J: Paula Muir⁽⁵⁾| T: R Fell & S Murray| OR: 45

50/1

Finished last over 1m4f at Ripon (good) and 1m2f at Pontefract (good-to-firm) last time out on two most recent starts. Cheekpieces tried for the first time dropping in trip on handicap debut.

Form: 078

Forecasts

Antico Lady (5/6), Melgate Majeure (7/1), Neileta (8/1), The Big House (12/1), Klipperty Klopp (18/1), Angel Sarah (18/1), Spiritual Boy (20/1), Piccolita (20/1), Lethal Guest (25/1), Seafaring Girl (40/1), Laura Louise (40/1), Supreme Dream (50/1), Two For Three (50/1), Dothraki (80/1)

ANTICO LADY registered an impressive victory last time out and she can follow-up that success by defying a penalty to take this 1m handicap. The selection can see off Melgate Majeure who won his final two starts of last season while Neileta, fifth on his most recent appearance can take third.
