THE BULL HAYES posted an improved effort to score with something in hand at Killarney last month. Open to further progress, Jessica Harrington's charge is taken to follow up and confirm running with runner-up Life Of Reilly, Clarach and False Economy in the process. Tawaagg's only win in the last two years has been over fences though he shaped a little better over timber last time. The consistent Princeton Plains makes more appeal, however, having finished a decent fifth in better company at Galway last time. Burma Rock and Golden Ticket make most appeal of the remainder.
