Verdict
SIENNA ROSE showed massive improvement to finish a close third at Ballinrobe with Champagne Diva 2 lengths back in fifth. The latter had run a similar race at Bellewstown earlier, when Serpolette was 3 lengths behind, but the selection looks to have more scope. Gordon Elliott's newcomer Bally Dun Liss has a nice pedigree for jumping and is one to note in the market. Bally Upper was a 200/1 chance at Gowran but ran much better than expected behind Jon Ess.
