        held up in last pair, behind and struggling final 2f, never a factor

        In depth

        Verdict

        Sans Souci Bay was well ahead of Iftitah when winning here in October and arrives on the back of a double in claiming company. But he’ll find this tougher and Glendun is preferred after going close at Yarmouth last time. Etikaal wasn’t beaten that far at the latter track despite finishing only sixth on his handicap debut while FALBON goes handicapping for the first time today. He found only Alfarris, due to run earlier on the card, too good when runner-up here last time and George Woods’ allowance helps his cause in this.
