INDEVAN, who fell on his first two starts between the flags, was purchased for £95,000 after scoring at Dromahane in November and, now with Willie Mullins, is expected to make a winning start under Rules. Nina Carberry's presence on Rockdown will ensure support and the half-brother to five winners looked a nice prospect at Killaloe last month. Sumos Novios is related to some decent winners and could hardly have been more impressive at Punchestown points last month while So Swank is the type to do well for Tony Martin and showed potential on his only start at Loughanmore in December.
