HANS ANDERSEN ran green when less than a length behind the much more experienced La Dolce Vita at Tipperary and normal progress will see him difficult to beat. The winner's yard is represented by Yamazaki and the newcomer Show No Fear, a son of Churchill and related to a couple of winners. The selection's stablemate Cairo is a half-brother to a winner on Dirt in the USA while Pigeon House, from a yard in outstanding form, is by Saxon Warrior out of a winner in France. Young Ireland ran very well behind the long odds-on Auguste Rodin at Naas while Imadpour showed very good pace here last month. Nation's Call is by Frankel out of a 7f-1m Group 3 winner while Al Riffa, who went for €31,000 as a foal, made 150,000gns as a yearling so must have impressed someone. Daamberdiplomat is a half-brother to the very smart Dragon Pulse.
