Winning pointer BULFIN ISLAND can cap a successful day for the Alan King team by making a winning start to his career under Rules. Belmount is another recruit from the point-to-point field while Thedrinkymeister is sure to have learned plenty from last month's fifth here. He started favourite that day so can't be ignored.
