The beautifully bred Tingling ran a fine race on her debut and should improve plenty. Always prominent, she moved through to dispute and eventually to lead turning into the straight. She ran on well once shaken up, and while she was beaten comfortably enough by the winner, she will come on. She should have little difficulty winning a maiden on this evidence.
Wild Hawk ran at least as well in defeat here as when he was runner-up at Limerick. He seemed to get a bit unbalanced and was changing his legs in the first half of the race. In the straight, he took time to get going but came home well without being dangerous.
Blue Boatman was ridden as though stamina wasn't really an issue. Always in a handy position, he was just outpaced in the straight once the race developed, keeping on at one pace.
Favourite, Woodlark, missed the break and was never involved even when he was asked to close.
Fellow newcomer Dactik was also slowly away and never involved, although he did keep on through beaten horses to finish sixth and wasn't disgraced. [JOH]
