Teodoro notched up a hat-trick over 1m2f last season and will be sharper for a recent comeback as he steps up in trip. But GUNS OF LEROS was also progressive in 2016 with a hat-trick of victories over today’s distance and made a winning return at Newmarket having missed the whole of last year. He obviously retains all his ability on that evidence and can go close again. C'Est No Mour finished runner-up at Windsor last time and is preferred to Tuff Rock and Travertine off their respective current marks.
