Several in with chances but it could pay to side with SWEET WILL, who bounced back to form on first outing for Emmet Mullins when finishing runner-up at Fairyhouse last month and a repeat could well be enough to go a place better. The Gavin Cromwell-trained pair Broken Ice and Steppenwolf are put forward as the main dangers, with the consistent Lake Chad another worthy of a mention.
