Sweet Will's two victories in the spring came over 2m4f on good going but he ran very well when runner-up over 2m6f at Galway in September. ROYAL RHYTHM was always travelling like a winner over this trip at Galway ten days ago and though raised 9lb this doesn't look much tougher so a quick double looks on the cards. Dr Val has the form to get involved but tackles a new trip and has never raced on soft ground. Lady Mccabe has no problems with trip or going and is well enough handicapped over timber to make her presence felt.
