Pulsating continues to improve and won again over track and trip last time. She’s closely matched with Major Valentine on earlier running here while Born To Finish was narrowly beaten at Lingfield a week ago and won a higher grade sprint at this venue last year when NEZAR was runner-up. The latter re-opposes on better terms today and a recent placed effort over 7f here suggests a bold bid is likely from Dean Ivory’s charge. Bahamian Heights is not out of this either dropping back down in class.
