Verdict

MALBAY MADNESS was arguably unlucky not to win here on Wednesday and compensation awaits with Colin Keane taking over in the saddle. Quantum Leap made a positive start for her new stable here at the beginning of the week and is second choice ahead of Noel Meade's Naas winner Hasten Slowly.

  1. MALBAY MADNESS (IRE)
