Verdict
Jim Bolger's Teofilio filly Siansa will improve from her debut over 7f at Tipperary where she ran very green. Ellell Duke was totally unfancied on his debut at Fairyhouse but made an encouraging start behind Bible Black and looks certain to improve. DRAGON PULSE went to the Curragh with a big reputation and started favourite for what looked a strong maiden. He was just outpaced by Vault in the closing stages and though the form hasn't worked out there should be plenty more to come from Jessica Harrington's colt. Hot Bed is one to keep an eye on for the future as he's a well-connected son of Dashing Blade who could come into his own over further.
