IOUPY COLLONGES took his record to 2-3 under Rules with a commanding success at Chepstow earlier this month and with further improvement on the cards, Paul Nicholls' 5-y-o is fancied to make a winning start to life in handicaps. A better showing is anticipated from If Karl's Berg Did with a hood reapplied, so he's put forward as the main danger, ahead of Prince Nino.
