HANS ANDERSEN kept some very good company last autumn after landing a maiden here and is fancied to resume winning ways at the chief expense of Bold Discovery, who should build on his very good third in the Killavullan Stakes here last backend. Dundalk maiden winner Carracci, a stablemate of the selection, is less exposed but open to plenty of improvement and worth considering too.
