Magic Bear made it three wins from five appearances when taking the five-furlong handicap at Tipperary.

She delivered her challenge for Oisin Orr in the final 150 yards to win going away by a length and a half.

Eddie Lynam 's charge was the well supported 11/4 favourite from 7/2. Sahreej who was prominent, throughout, kept on for second at 10/1.

The grey was a length and a quarter in front of Ice Cold In Alex (7/1).

Eddie Lynam said: "I think ground is the key to her; we got away with it at Dundalk and Navan the day she won they called it good but it was actually slow.

"I think the little ease is a big help to her; she was disappointing at Cork and in hindsight I'd say the ground was a bit quick for her.

"We haven't over-raced her as she is a bit of a baby and we'll run her again next month in something similar."
