Teenando will need to improve again raised 9lb for last month's win over C&D. The third-placed horse has since been well beaten by Saddle Pack at Hexham and the latter has to come into the reckoning on that line of form despite stepping up a grade. LE ROI ROUGE could only manage third behind the progressive Saveiro at Wetherby last time, but it still looks decent form given the runner-up has subsequently won and Ferdy Murphy's charge looks capable of scoring off his current mark. Sotovik would have claims if back to his best but has failed to complete in both starts this year.
