Sri Pekan Two can continue his rise up the quality ladder by overcoming Mayor Of London and Nota Liberata in the best event on the card. Paul Cole has decided to send the son of Montjeu for this event instead of a listed race at Salisbury on Thursday and he should be rewarded with victory. Sri Pekan Two improved considerably for the step up to a mile when running away from a decent field at Lingfield on his latest start. He ought to handle the ground and is given a narrow vote over Mayor of London. Mark Johnston's imposing colt improved on his debut fourth with a fluent if narrow success at Catterick. That day the ground was on the soft side and the step up to mile should also be in favour for the son of Carson City. The 3lbs he receives from Sri Pekan Two will make it a tight contest. Nota Liberata is at the bottom end of the handicap and having won on the ground also enters calculations.
