Magical (2/5), Active Approach (5/1), Hence (7/1), Drombeg Dream (16/1), Athena (16/1), Shelannga (20/1), Mary Tudor (25/1), Eos (40/1), Rionach (50/1), Leedle Lady (50/1)

ACTIVE APPROACH can register her first success at the second time of asking by taking this opening two-year-old contest. The selection shaped as if she'd improve for the experience on debut at Leopardstown and can get the better of Magical who finished a close second when making her own debut at The Curragh last month. Debutant Athena, a well bred filly from the first crop of Derby winner Camelot can take third on her debut.
