Verdict
Pulsating has won nine times on the Flat though it's a long time since she showed any worthwhile form. Come On Du Berlais landed a Kelso bumper in May but was beaten 17 lengths on her hurdling debut at Roscommon. SCENIC LOOK beat the prolific Unanswered on the Flat at Galway and started favourite for a maiden hurdle there three days later but the exertions must have taken their toll as she ran poorly. She can get off the mark back over timber. It wasn't the toughest of maidens that Game Beaaa finished a close second in at Tramore but she should have more to offer while Princess Sophia has shown ability in bumpers.
