Those with Rules experience haven't shown a great deal so a couple of well-bred newcomers from the pointing field could well dominate, with Denman's nephew IMPORTANT NOTICE preferred to Bob Olinger's half-brother Wallace Olinger.

€62,000 3-y-o, Sholokhov gelding. From the family of Cheltenham Gold Cup winner Denman so this multiple point winner, including last 2 starts (latest Feb 8), needs taking seriously on Rules bow.

Verdict
Multiple point winner who shaped with some promise when third in hunter chases 21 months apart, including here 12 days ago. This looks a weaker contest so considered.

Verdict
Nice pedigree being a half-brother to very smart hurdler/high-class chaser Bob Olinger but sold rather cheaply last year. Multiple point winner, runner-up last time (Feb 8). One to note on Rules bow.
