Joseph O'Brien has two entries with Draconid having had enough chances and Equus Deus disappointing at Listowel. Monteria caught the eye at Killarney and can only improve but it's time TALL STORY was hitting the heights. Placed four times in 10 starts, he just failed to concede 6lb to Faithful Prince in a Killarney handicap last time and this can be his day. Lofoten is by Frankel out of a Group 1 winner and a half-brother to two winners so he's one to keep an eye on.
