Aug 6 (Reuters) -Britain's FTSE 100 .FTSE index is seen opening higher on Tuesday, with futures FFIc1 up 1.2%.


* IHG: Holiday Inn-owner InterContinental Hotels Group IHG.L reported a 3.2% rise in revenue per available room (RevPAR) in the second quarter as a strong rebound in the United States offset weakness in China.

* DOMINO'S: Britain's Domino's Pizza Group DOM.L forecast its annual profit to be at the lower-end of market expectations, pressured by a slowdown for its products at the start of the year amid a cost-of-living crisis.

* BANKS: HSBC, Barclays, Lloyds, Natwest and Britain's other top eight banks could be wound down in a crisis without the immediate need for taxpayer cash, the Bank of England said following its second 'resolvability' check of the lenders.

* ABRDN: Abrdn ABDN.L reported a modest dip in first-half assets under management and provided no update on its leadership.

* TRAVIS PERKINS: Building materials supplier Travis Perkins TPK.L reported a 33% decline in its first-half profit weighed down by persistently subdued activity in the British homes sales market and construction sector.

* GSK: GSK GSK.L won the latest trial over claims that discontinued heartburn drug Zantac caused cancer, as a jury found that the drug was not responsible for an Illinois woman's illness, a company spokesperson said.

* RETAIL SALES: British shoppers kept a tight grip on their purse strings last month as rainy weather again dampened their appetite for spending, according to two surveys.

* OIL: Oil prices rebounded by more than 1%, paring previous session's losses, on supply concerns amid an escalating Middle East conflict, stronger U.S. services sector data and a cut in production at Libya's Sharara oilfield.
