HANS HOLBEIN is by Montjeu so should enjoy the conditions. He's related to a host of winners and though not costing a fortune showed enough on his debut on fast going at Gowran to suggest he'll be up to making a successful return. Dermot Weld has two entries with the Azamour filly Summaya the choice of Pat Smullen though she was well beaten on her debut at Listowel. Jim Bolger is also double-handed and Kevin Manning has picked the newcomer Pirolo, a son of Teofilo, over the experienced Novis Adventus. Give Battle was a 33/1 chance when staying on nicely from the rear on his second start at Leopardstown and looks one to keep an eye on.
