FormscanBy Eamonn Murphy - It isn't difficult to envisage THRICE going forward from his near rail-side draw in stall two, in a bid to put the benefit of his experience to good use. All eyes will be on the Wootton Bassett colt, as his rider Ryan Moore debuts at Listowel. Moore triumphed on the selection's stable companion, Officer, when Thrice finished third on his first start at the Curragh last month. There was undoubted merit in the Ballydoyle juvenile's finishing spurt on that occasion, and the blinkers deployed then are unsurprisingly retained now. Aidan O'Brien has care of Thrice, and there is strong O'Brien family representation all told, with Joseph and Donnacha also fielding runners. The former's Hostility looks well-placed to at least contend for a place in the frame.
