Parish Hall among Winter Derby entries Parish Hall is the sole Irish representative in the coral.co.uk Winter Derby at Lingfield on Saturday. Jim Bolger's 2011 Dewhurst hero showed he still retains plenty of ability despite his problems when fourth in the Irish Champion Stakes at Leopardstown in September and winning the Group Three Diamond Stakes the following month. Clear market leader Grandeur is also among the 23 horses standing their ground at the confirmation stage. Jeremy Noseda's classy five-year-old is around 7-4 favourite for the mile-and-a-quarter Group Three. Already a dual Group Two winner in America, Grandeur won at Listed level in Britain for a second time when beating Modernstone in the Winter Derby Trial over this course and distance last month. Modernstone, trained by William Knight, is in the list, along with Anaconda and Robin Hoods Bay, who were third and fourth that day. Last year's winner Farraaj and the veteran Premio Loco, who was successful in 2012, are set to try again, while there are several other smart sorts including Dick Doughtywylie, Graphic, Highland Knight, Rebellious Guest and Godolphin's Windhoek.
