Had too much to do after missing the break and meeting trouble when beaten 3/4l off a 1lb lower mark at Dundalk last time. Top course trainer, off a short break, inconsistent but on a good mark on Irish form and longer trip a plus on stable debut.

Verdict
Profit Street appreciated the step back up in trip when scoring over 7f here on his most recent start, but is versatile and should mount another bold bid. Dark Sun was just denied off a 1lb higher mark at Wolverhampton and is considered, but WATERMELON SUGAR hit the woodwork over track and trip last month and, with Jamie Spencer booked, he could be the one to beat.
Expert View Verdict
WATERMELON SUGAR can continue his excellent course record. The top weight was unlucky not to follow up here last time as he was repeatedly denied a run at a key stage before flying home. Racing off just 1lb higher with a top jockey booked he can defeat Just Jump who starts out for his new stable off what looks a generous mark based on his Irish form. Stepping back up in trip will be a big positive and he can fill the places with Dark Sun who just failed to reel in an all the way winner who was racking up a sequence last time.
