TUNES OF GLORY was only beaten a neck back over 7f at Ffos Las recently and may prove good enough in this nursery. Tig Tog was a well-beaten third in a handicap at Goodwood last time and it remains to be seen how well Fabulous Red copes with the step up in distance after a modest effort over 6f at Newcastle. Collateral continues to frustrate with a below-par effort at Windsor a fortnight ago and the remaining trio have shown little to inspire confidence in their chances recently.
