Richard O'Brien won this last year and Barend Boy won a nursery when trained in the UK by Hugo Palmer. Third World showed potential in his first two starts and landed a Killarney maiden in August from a subsequent winner. SAN ANDREAS (NAP) won a 6f maiden here before finishing last in the Group 1 Criterium International at Chantilly. This represents a huge drop in class and he's still in the 2000 Guineas at Newmarket and the Curragh. His stable also run Never No More, a winner at Dundalk and not beaten far in Listed company at Navan. Colfer Me has been in good form at Dundalk while stable companion Crockford only just failed to hang on over a mile there earlier this month after travelling strongly at this trip. Parkers Hill made most and battled on gamely over 6f at Leopardstown in June and starts out in handicaps off what looks a reasonable mark.
