MOLLY THE DOLLY carries a penalty for winning over course and distance in November but she led until approaching the last in a Listed race at Haydock subsequently and looks to have a few pounds in hand on Sensulano. Noel Williams’ mare should be winning soon, however, judged on her second here to Black Tulip on New Year’s Eve. The aforementioned should dominate as Dark Aster and Jennifer Juniper will probably do better in handicaps. Sequinsatdawn has a staying pedigree but may need the experience.
