WATERMELON SUGAR is penalised for a debut success at Wolverhampton but escapes a penalty for landing the odds in a selling race at Leicester. Archie Watson’s charge can remain unbeaten. Liangel Hope disappointed on Turf last time having finished runner-up at Newcastle earlier while Animist found only one too good dropped down to the minimum trip at Catterick. The remainder are harder to recommend though the newcomers Jenever and Kodiaclaim are both related to winners on the all-weather.
