BACK TOMORROW showed improved form to get off the mark at Southwell last month and should have more to come now she's up and running, so is taken to follow up. Mccauley's Tavern finally opened his account over C&D a fortnight ago and should remain competitive based on the pick of his form in Ireland. Swiss Pride is easing in the weights and could also have a say in proceedings.
