Glisten ran a perfectly good race on debut and should come on plenty for the experience, looking beforehand as though she might need the run. She chased the winner for most of the journey and was being pushed to stay in touch just after halfway. She kept going at more or less the one pace from there, and while she was no match for the winner she gives the impression that she should win a maiden and may get a bit further.
Very much an eye-catcher here was Ti Landa. She raced towards the rear for the first half of the race but stayed on nicely up the straight under quite a sympathetic ride to be nearest at the finish. He's a nice type of colt and there should be plenty to come from him.
Some promise also from Cul A Dun. He was prominent in the chasing group before losing a few lengths before the turn into the straight. He stayed on at one pace inside the last furlong or so.
Tarsille didn't show any real improvement from his Curragh debut over this extra furlong. He has ability though and could potentially be an interesting one for a nursery when getting a mark. [JO'H]
