TOOREEN ANGEL, Jungle Cove and Behind The Wall occupied the positions behind the well supported Mosala over the track and trip last month. The former didn't get the run of the race and can go one better though Approach The City wasn't too far behind in what was only his third start. Melliferous made a very satisfactory debut last month and the drop in trip shouldn't pose a problem but Cousin Harry has been hurdling and probably needs further. Baltinglass Hill was engaged at Naas yesterday.
