CALL THE TUNE had a bit in hand when opening his account over C&D 18 days ago and, with further improvement on the cards, this revised mark ought to be within range. Ballyshannon Rose boasts a good strike rate and could eke out a bit more improvement back up in trip, while Flash de Touzaine is another to consider having shown improved form on his qualifying run.
