Verdict
Sriology can edge this ahead of Dubai Dreams, Never Forget Bowie and Printsmith. Dubai Dreams gained his fourth career victory when making virtually all to account for Sriology at Southwell a fortnight ago, but the latter was only beaten half a length on what was his first outing for new connections since coming over from Ireland. He should improve for the step up in trip and on today's terms, can turn the tables on his conqueror. Never Forget Bowie beat Jarvo here recently so a good run by that one in the race prior to this will advertise his claims. Printsmith was successful over the course and distance two weeks ago when just holding Iftikhar. She is a tough battler at this level and can also make her presence felt. Plausebelle meanwhile was a bit unlucky not to collect a similar race over the course and distance a week earlier when edged out by Larad. Had she not hung to the right close home, the ex-Tim Easterby filly may well have prevailed for new connections, and she can also be given a squeak. However, we return to Sriology as the answer.
