In depth

Verdict

BOUND, runner-up in a Listed contest at the Curragh in October, didn't replicate that form in two early season events but this looks a good opportunity for the Galileo filly to get off the mark. Alaykha battled all the way to the line when narrowly beaten in a Killarney maiden and looks a threat and she had Dawn Choir about four lengths behind that day with Dream Sleep another length back.
