Most of these are pretty much exposed and so we will side with one that is on the upgrade and that is Auentraum, Sundried Tomato and A Teen could be the main dangers. The selection hit winning form over course and distance last week, comfortably beating Obe Bold. That was an improved performance and there could be plenty more to come. Sundried Tomato hadn't won for quite some time before landing a weak contest at Southwell recently. If he decides to put it all in again this afternoon he should be in the shake up. A Teen is another frustrating sort and is capable of winning in this type of company but he may again find one or two to beat him again today. Grand View and Mister Aziz are two others in with place claims, but there was a lot to like about Auentraum's victory last time and a follow up looks on the cards.
