Grecian Slipper won a 1m2f maiden at Navan last May and raced at Listed and Group 3 level in her next three starts. She could be set for a good season over this sort of trip. Molly's Gamble was in good form all last season and will enjoy the conditions. HARRY'S LEGACY (NAP) completed a double over further in mid-summer and continued in excellent form in staying handicaps. He ran well on his comeback here last May so the lack of a run shouldn't pose a problem. The veteran Dalton Highway returns after a very long absence and is likely to be competing in the big staying handicaps later in the campaign. Mellow Magic, a winner for Andrew Balding in the UK, is a fine addition to Jessica Harrington's team.
