Bound was caught right on the line by Mujaazy on this track but had earlier finished 11 lengths behind stable companion Butterflies at Gowran and the latter should have few problems confirming the form. SEA OF GRACE and Eziyra fought out the finish of a Tipperary maiden last month with the former just holding the call. The runner-up has since landed the odds at Galway, where she had subsequent Group 2 second Hydrangea behind, and it should be close between the pair again. Legitimus makes a quick reappearance after finishing third in a Tipperary nursery on Thursday but doesn't look good enough on that evidence but Madame Cherie made a bright start behind Hydrangea here and is by no means out of this. Pocketfullofdreams cost 550,000 euros and her dam has produced useful winners with her first two foals.
