Verdict
A half-brother to three winners, DIVILSKIN (NAP) cost a whopping 245,000gns at the NH sales in May having earlier won an Irish point-to-point. He debuts under Rules for Paul Nicholls and gets the vote. Forever A Dove found one too good in both starts here earlier in the year while Kempton fourth Spago looks a likely improver having switched yards. Favour And Fortune is related to Flat and hurdles winner Dreal Deal while Ipso Falco and Rumoursareflying are other newcomers to note.
