BIG BABY BULL stepped up on his reappearance effort when fifth in a big-field Limerick handicap last month and he could be the answer. Alex Belardo needs to bounce back following a very low-key start to his season at Fairyhouse, but this C&D winner will have every chance if able to do so. Katie Ross, Navorrosse and Spirit of Eagles all make each-way appeal in an open-looking contest.
