HOLBACHE returned to winning ways at Bath a week ago. He’s penalised but the soft ground is not a problem and Tony Carroll’s charge can go in again. Firenze Rosa has her ground and is preferred to Katherine Place while Kodiak Attack finally showed some improvement for a slide down the weights when placed at Chepstow recently. Rivers Lad and the unexposed Aventurina look best of the rest.
