Watermelon Sugar³²

Age: 7| Weight: 9-8| J: J P Spencer| T: C Banham| OR: 60| BF| CD

1/1

Three-time C&D winner, including when landing a gamble in December. Split a pair of subsequent winners when arguably unlucky not to follow up back here last month and remains of firm interest with Jamie Spencer booked.

Form: 00051-2

Stapleford Park¹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Joe Leavy| T: M J Attwater| OR: 59

40/1

Nursery winner in September 2024 but has really struggled since, including for this yard.

Form: 708-746

Dark Sun⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: Laura Coughlan⁽³⁾| T: J Bennett| OR: 58

8/1

Might well have won (for the first time) had the gaps come a little earlier at Wolverhampton (22/1) 9 days ago. Also went very close off this mark over C&D last month so big shout if getting the breaks.

Form: 67-6202

Profit Street^v¹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: L Morris| T: James Owen| OR: 58| C| D

9/4

Resumed winning ways over 7f here (6/4F) 2 weeks ago, settling better than has sometimes been the case having been strong in the betting. Should remain competitive back at 6f.

Form: 32-3341

Just Jump⁷⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: William Carson| T: A W Carroll| OR: 57

14/1

Just a maiden win to his name after 17 starts in Ireland but potentially on a handy mark on the pick of his form starting out for a new yard.

Harry Brown^b¹⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 9-5| J: Rob Hornby| T: P Crate| OR: 57| CD

16/1

Four-time C&D winner but generally below par since his last win in October and this looks a competitive race for the level.

Form: 107-439

Southbank²⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: Charles Bishop| T: C Gordon| OR: 56| BF| D

14/1

Knuckled down well to win at Kempton in October and has remained in good form since, not beaten far back there 4 weeks ago. Just as effective round here, but others look better treated on this occasion, though.

Forecasts

Watermelon Sugar (1/1), Profit Street (9/4), Dark Sun (8/1), Running Cool (8/1), Split Elevens (12/1), Just Jump (14/1), Southbank (14/1), Harry Brown (16/1), Stapleford Park (40/1)

WATERMELON SUGAR arguably should have added another C&D win to his tally when splitting a pair of next-time-out winners last month so shades the vote over Dark Sun, who also arrives as an unlucky last-time-out loser. Profit Street landed a gamble over 7f here a fortnight ago and should remain competitive back at 6f.
