led early, chased winner, ridden over 2f out, no impression over 1f out
made virtually all, shaken up 2f out, drew clear from over 1f out, easily
MHAJIM found a Godolphin odds-on favourite too good when upped to today’s trip at Kempton. But he finished a long way clear of the rest and is fancied to edge this given he’s receiving weight from his only rival. Rogue Mission is unproven over the distance having won over 1m2f here last month but today’s penalty may prove beyond him.
