Division one will give us a few clues towards this section of the race and, assuming that the portents look good, Plausabelle can continue where she left off ten days ago and shrug aside the 6lb extra she carries today. Sorbiesharry and Encounter still have a contest like this within them somewhere along the line and should not be far away if they get the breaks in running. While others to take notes on include: Vermillion Creek and Peace Emblem, who have ability but may just need this as they return from their winter breaks. Never Forget Bowie won a very modest claimer here just over three weeks ago and has more on his plate, while Mobo Baco has been consistent without winning on the all weather and has it to do off top weight. Therefore, it seems harsh to desert Plausabelle whilst she is at the top of her game and, with the in-form Danny Tudhope doing the steering, she is fancied to confirm the reasoning behind the theory that she has more improvement to come.
