In depth
Verdict
Tonight's reserve Pulsating was engaged in the 6.00 at Dundalk last night having scored at Navan last week. He had EYE OF THE DRAGON just over 2 lengths back in fifth but the latter, who was having only her second start in a handicap, was going on nicely at the finish and can get off the mark. Scherzando has been in good form without winning while Jungle Jungle appeared to need every yard of the extended 1m1f when scoring here last month. Everyhouronthehour has gained both career victories at Dundalk and is yet to reach a place on Turf while Keep Believing, a course and distance winner back in 2017, was heavily supported on a return visit in July but was found to be coughing post-race.
