Fair form in pair of starts for Andrew Balding in late 2023. Absent/sold cheaply prior to confirming he retains ability after 14 months off when second of 5 in novice at Wolverhampton (5.1f) 25 days ago. That was a solid display with handicaps now on the agenda and he's worth a second look.

Twelve runs since last win in 2024. 9/1, last of 11 in handicap at this course (7f, AW) 20 days ago, weakening quickly having refused to settle. Visor back on.

Course winner who ended a losing run stretching back to summer 2022 in 9-runner handicap at Kempton (6f, 6/1) 18 days ago, having run of race. Remains well treated on old form and he's respected in an open contest.

C&D winner. Four wins from 18 runs last year, the at Wolverhampton (6f) in September. 50/1, last of 12 in handicap back at that venue (6.1f) 55 days ago, left poorly placed. Fallen back down to last winning mark.

18/1
Latest win at Kempton (6f) in March. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, third of 5 in handicap (7/2) at Brighton (5.3f, soft) in September, holding every chance. Handicap has eased his grip further if he's ready to roll back from 5 months off.

Eleven runs since last win in 2023. Hooded for 1st time, first run since leaving Craig Lidster when ninth of 10 in handicap at this course (5f, AW, 28/1) 78 days ago. Others more persuasive.

3/1
C&D winner. 18/1, ran best race for some time when third of 12 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 53 days ago. Successful from a 2 lb higher mark here last year and of definite interest if building on latest run.

25/1, good 2¾ lengths fourth of 9 to Brunel Charm in handicap at Kempton (6f) 18 days ago, no extra last ½f. That was his first start for 10 weeks and he's entitled to be sharper with that under his belt.

5-time course winner. Latest win at Windsor in August. Eighth of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (5.1f, 8/1) 20 days ago, weakening over 1f out having been caught a little wider than ideal. Mark has eased a little more and he's worth a second look back at this venue.

C&D winner. Eleven runs since last win in 2024. Not disgraced from a tricky draw when seventh of 12 in handicap (66/1) at Kempton (7f) 9 days ago. Better showing not ruled out returned to class 6 company.

Sole success came over this C&D last winter. However, recent exploits have been uninspiring, well-beaten eleventh of 14 in handicap at Kempton (1m) 23 days ago. Visor now the headgear of choice returned to sprinting.

Forecasts

Brunel Charm (2/1), Watermelon Sugar (3/1), Francisco (13/2), Nordic Glory (17/2), Arlecchino's Gift (11/1), Fai Fai (11/1), Flag Carrier (16/1), Dream By Day (16/1), Libra Tiger (18/1), Alfa Moonstone (28/1), Moorgate (66/1)

Verdict

WATERMELON SUGAR took a big step back in the right direction when third at Wolverhampton in December and, operating 2 lb below his last winning mark, he could well be ready to strike. Unsurprisingly this is competitive though, with Nordic Glory, Kempton scorer Brunel Charm and handicap debutant Francisco others on the shortlist.

  2. Nordic Glory17/2
  3. Brunel Charm2/1
