Sans Souci Bay landed a handicap over 7f at Chelmsford in October and just missed out here when attempting to follow up with Presence Process well beaten. Hajaj has also won over 7f but never figured on his handicap debut at Kempton while though Kodiac Khan was successful at Epsom back in August he remains 4lb higher as he steps up in trip. GOLDEN NECTAR won a maiden race over today’s distance at Kempton last month with a subsequent winner back in fourth and it’s Laura Mongan’s filly that gets the nod to show further progress now handicapping.
