It was hard not to be impressed by the way HOLYMACAPONY went about his business when making a winning Rules debut at Punchestown. The sky could be the limit for this 4-y-o, who receives weight from each of his six rivals. Second choice is Fighter Allen, who made a winning start for Willie Mullins last month and remains open to improvement. Gabynako should also be on the premises.
