Sutter County is penalised for earlier wins in novice events but has failed to improve subsequently albeit in pattern company. Kananee but a poor effort behind him to win a handicap at Kempton when narrowly beating Mutahaady. The latter is worse off on today’s revised terms though landed a hat-trick of handicaps in September. NUCLEAR POWER (NAP) comes out well at the weights and arrives on the back of a close-up third in a Listed contest at Doncaster. William Muir’s charge may well prove good enough in this but Parnassian looks up against it on these terms.
