IOUPY COLLONGES displayed plenty of ability between the flags in the spring and having transferred to Paul Nicholls, he's sure to be well prepared for this Rules debut. Without the benefit of market clues, he looks the way to go, with Up For Appeal (who sets the standard on his Irish form) and Classic King a couple of potential threats.
