Watermelon Sugar (G)
FAV
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.

51-2100 | J P Spencer | C Banham | 7 | 60.8 kg |

Split Elevens (G)
Has 3 wins at this course (all at 7f) and was given a considerate return from a 4-month break here (14/1) 18 days ago. Should strip fitter and now only 1 lb above last winning mark but having a rare outing over 6f.

745412 | S D Bowen | J Butler | 8 | 60.8 kg |

Stapleford Park (G)
Nursery winner in September 2024 but has really struggled since, including for this yard.

8-74672 | Joe Leavy | M J Attwater | 4 | 60.3 kg |

Dark Sun (M)
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.

Profit Street (G)
[V]
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.

Running Cool (G)
Little impact for Tim Easterby but took a big step back in the right direction when second of 9 at Wolverhampton on debut for this yard in September. However, no show back there on comeback run on Monday.
|
962-058 | O McSweeney | A Keatley | 6 | 59.9 kg |

| 3rd | 7 | 9 |
Just Jump (G)
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.
|
3758R1 | William Carson | A W Carroll | 4 | 59.4 kg |

| 6th | 8 | 1 |
Harry Brown (G)
[B]
Four-time C&D winner but generally below par since his last win in October and this looks a competitive race for the level.
|
691420 | Rob Hornby | P Crate | 6 | 59.4 kg |

| 4th | 9 | 2 |
Southbank (G)
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.

234262 | Charles Bishop | C Gordon | 5 | 59 kg |
