Haggle Twins to follow up
Successful in a bumper at Down Royal, the four-year-old made an excellent start over flights on this track last month.
It has to be said there was no great depth to that particular contest, despite no less than 20 trying their case, and the selection had no trouble scoring by five lengths.
He jumped and travelled really well through the race, however, shooting away in the straight to beat Rookwith unextended.
The manner of the performance was impressive, indicating there was lots to come, and Haggle Twins is fancied to make this step up in class.

He ran with promise on his racecourse debut at Navan, finishing fourteen and a half lengths fourth behind gambled-on Monsieur Monet.
Southern Vic steps up a mile in trip now and can cope with Guantama Bay, who was far from disgraced first time over jumps when fourth to Kerryhead Windfarm at Punchestown.
Tony McCoy makes the journey to Kilkenny for a couple of rides and Adarma looks nailed on for him in the Tattersalls Ireland EBF Mares Novice ’Chase.
