Melayu Kingdom³¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: K Stott| T: K A Ryan| OR: 89

12/1

Debut scorer last spring. Still green when fourth in Ripon listed next time. Two runs since disappointing (pulled way too hard on 7f reappearance) but it is still early days.

Form: 149-4

Lady Lade²⁰⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: Callum Rodriguez| T: K Dalgleish| OR: 80

12/1

Bagged 5f wins at Carlisle and Hamilton last summer. Raced away from the main action when respectable sixth of 17 in 6f Ayr nursery on final 2-y-o start.

Form: 51106-

Panama City²⁵⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 79

33/1

Trained by Eoghan O'Neill in France last year, going close on Longchamp debut but well held on both starts since. Joined a capable yard ahead of this handicap debut/reappearance. Worth a precautionary betting check.

Form: 265-

Buckshaw Village¹⁹³

9/2

Progressive, going very close in 6f Haydock maiden on final start. Subsequently had wind surgery. Strikes as one who should go on to better things in handicaps this year.

Form: 4322-

Lethal Levi¹⁸³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: C Lee| T: K R Burke| OR: 79| D

7/4

Consistent last year, winning twice. Good second in C&D nursery on final start. Likely to be in the mix if ready to roll on reappearance.

Pocket The Profit^h¹⁶⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: B A Curtis| T: G Boughey| OR: 79| BF| D

7/2

Racked up a 4-timer inside a fortnight in nurseries last autumn. Fifth run in quick succession presumably more than he could cope with when only seventh final start and could resume his progression on return.

Form: 711117-

Miss Calculation²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-6| J: S De Sousa| T: R Menzies| OR: 74| D

11/2

Drawn a blank since 6f Doncaster debut success. Not disgraced when fifth of 8 on Newcastle return 3 weeks ago but looks vulnerable in this field.

Forecasts

Lethal Levi (7/4), Pocket The Profit (7/2), Love De Vega (4/1), Buckshaw Village (9/2), Miss Calculation (11/2), Lady Lade (12/1), Melayu Kingdom (12/1), Panama City (33/1)

POCKET THE PROFIT got on a real roll last autumn and still looks to have mileage in his mark so he's selected to make a winning reappearance. Richard Fahey has a very good record in this race so Buckshaw Village is put up as the main threat ahead of Lethal Levi.
