Teak doesn't know how to run a bad race and Rosairlie has been in excellent form over hurdles and on the Flat, winning over 2m at Ripon on her latest start. Salisbury third Tasfeya isn't without a chance and Callisto Moon likes fast ground and won at Catterick and Ayr last month. The three-year-olds Bounty Seeker and Sign Manual have to go on the short-list upped in distance but John Dunlop's team is just starting to show signs of life after a miserable first half of the season and his KNIGHTLY ESCAPADE could be the one in this finale. Lightly raced, he had Mohanad behind when third over an extra furlong at Newmarket last month. He may not have quite got home that day but is worth another chance on this quicker ground.
