TUNNAGER GROVE just failed to catch Salik Tag over track and trip on last week's handicap debut. Hughie Morrison's charge can go one better on only his fifth start and is just preferred to the more exposed Reve Du Jour. The latter scored twice over C&D earlier this year and can race off a lower mark with an apprentice's claim taken into account. Multiple Fibresand winner Punching and C&D winner Katy's Secret are better in plating company nowadays while Imjin River won his only start to date on this surface though that was back in 2009.
