Several of these have point-to-point experience but only Saint Anapolino and Nelson‘s Shadow have had a run under Rules and they were both unplaced in the same race at Wincanton. QUEBECOIS is related to several winners and changed hands for £288,000 after finishing second between the flags in March. He’ll be expected to pay his way as will Jurancon, who won a maiden at Portrush in October despite running green. Ski Lodge and Ilfonce may need further but Kalahari King shouldn’t be short of speed.
