Three-year-olds have won half of the ten previous renewals and are well represented here. ONLY MINE (NAP) makes a quick reappearance after comfortably beating Washington DC at Naas on Sunday. She showed a real turn of foot on the quick ground and will take some beating. Sir Mark Prescott enjoys his trips to Ireland and wouldn't be sending the lightly-raced Marsha, who scored at Dundalk last season, without good reason, though she'll need to find more in this company. Diamond Fields was behind Washington DC at Navan so looks held by the selection as does Fine Blend, who was a long way behind her at Newmarket in October. Fort Del Oro has won two Listed races and though last of seven in a Group 2 here last month she'll be much happier on this faster ground.
