MONGOLIA found only one too good stepped up to today’s trip at Chelmsford just three days ago. She’d earlier scored over 1m4f here beating Risk Mitigation, who went on to win at the track last week with Keith back in third. Mick Appleby’s filly should have the beating of the latter on that form and gets the nod. Royal Dancer escaped a penalty for winning at Brighton earlier in the month but failed to take advantage when beaten at Kempton last time and the less-exposed J Gaye is preferred upped in distance for her Fibresand debut.
