Breezolini won three times in the UK on Turf but only ran once on the all-weather and runs in Ireland for the first time on a very reasonable mark. DOC HOLLIDAY has been in superb form and completed a double before just failing to hold off Reckless Lad over a mile with Victor's Beach 7l behind. He's better off at the weights here and can get back on the winning trail. Big Typhoon hasn't run since March and could just need the run and Regal Power is held by the selection.
