Teo Vivo went down with all guns blazing behind Holly Bush Henry here last time but has been rewarded with a 3lb rise in the weights. He holds Silver Duke on the form book, however, Serenity Now was out of his depth in a Listed race here 10 days ago but should do better in this grade while Irish raider First Post is no forlorn hope. Jonny Delta appears to be running into form and makes more appeal than Marcus Antonius, Quick Brew and the returning Venue but he could find EL BEAU too classy. John Quinn's charge, yet to finish out of the frame over hurdles, was running well in decent company on the Flat last year and may have benefited from a break.
