Malbay Madness (7/2), Approaching Bear (4/1), Hasten Slowly (9/2), Ard Mhacha (13/2), Laser Jet (17/2), Slaney Tide (11/1), Mucky Mulconry (12/1), Texas Boy (14/1), Alfarida (20/1), Aurifodina (22/1), Belatucadros (22/1), Majestic Hills (28/1), Calgary Mounty (33/1), Water Mint (40/1), Allesnick (40/1), Giselles Romance (66/1), Adaayinmay (66/1), Miss Langmore (80/1), Glyde Ranger (80/1)

A winner of a Leopardstown maiden on her penultimate start, HASTEN SLOWLY ran to a similar level when fourth on nursery debut at the Curragh 3 weeks ago and, with the step up to 1m worth exploring, she could be the answer now equipped with first-time blinkers. Killarney 1-2 Malbay Madness and Approaching Bear head up the dangers, along with Ard Mhacha.
