Well backed Tawaagg delivers in style

TAWAAGG proved the star of yesterday’s action at Tramore yesterday, justifying favouritism for Willie Mullins and Paul Townend in the Guillamene Maiden.

The five-year-old Kyllachy gelding, a prolific winner over hurdles but a beaten favourite in his two previous starts on the level, was well backed off-course and sent off a strong 5/4 favourite.

Paul Townend settled him in the leading group before making his move on the approach to the straight, Soon in front and in command, Tawaagg stretched clear to beat Hassuna by eight lengths.
