Emmet Mullins' horses are in top form and SWEET WILL, already a five-times winner, looks to have been found another opportunity after a narrow defeat at Fairyhouse. Broken Ice, runner-up on the same track, hails from another in-form yard along with Steppenwolf while Lake Chad is consistent enough to get into the money again. Paidi's Passion completed a hat-trick before finding two miles much too short at Down Royal and he doesn't look overburdened on 118 while Archies Charm has gradually dropped to a winnable mark.
