Ioupy Collonges (4/5), Gingerbred (7/2), Ike Sport (7/1), If Karl's Berg Did (7/1), Prince Nino (15/2), Flamelco (50/1), Dame Prestige (80/1), Pontresina (100/1)

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.
