BEST IN THE WORLD has not exactly lived up to her name so far but won a Group Three at Cork last time when well ahead of Shamreen. She has plenty to spare on these terms with stablemate Santa Monica, though they were closely matched on the track here in July and Frankie picks up the ride on the latter. How High The Moon is a third Ballydoyle runner and was ahead of Planchart when placed at Naas earlier, while though Cirin Toinne has it all to do at the weights she has plenty of scope for improvement.
