      Verdict

      The unbeaten WATERMELON SUGAR has been well placed to win all four outings so far and landed and a seller at Thirsk last month. Archie Watson’s grey meets tougher opposition in this but is clear at the weights and can go in again. Nearly A Gonna and Chief Little Hawk share the same handicap rating with the former fitted with headgear for this while Yazaman has tumbled down the weights and Beverley runner-up Montiney is the least exposed.
