FormscanBy Gary Carson - This looks like a good opportunity for the well-bred WORLD FAMOUS to open his account. The Galileo colt is a half-brother to six winners including the Group 3 placed Iberia and their dam was a Group 3 winner. World Famous ran a nice race when chasing home Vellner at the Curragh on his return to action and a repeat of that would make him the one to beat. Rick Dalton ran much better when third to All Lies Ahead at Killarney last time and is entitled to play a part here. It would be disappointing though if the selection couldn't surpass his rating of 74. Johnny Murtagh's newcomer Nemean looks one to note in the market. The US-bred son of Kitten's Joy is a full-brother to a Grade 2 winner in America.
