Race preview
Having been gelded prior to his winter break, TEUMESSIAS FOX bounced back to form in style when running out a bloodless winner at Kempton. The son of Lope De Vega is now 10lb higher back on the grass, but he remains open to further improvement and that rise could underestimate him. Crystal Delight has been knocking on the door on the all-weather and he's respected, along with Vaynor, who returns to the fray in search of his hat-trick. Moktasaab might not be far away either.
