FormscanBy Michael Graham - SWEET WILL looks well handicapped over fences. He is rated some 14lb lower over fences than hurdles and the last time he raced in this sphere he travelled well to close three out in Navan where he unseated his rider. There are races in him off this mark of 110. Galon De Vauzelle is inching up the weights by virtue of five placed efforts in a row over fences, but Tiernan Power Roche's 7lb claim should keep him more than competitive. The pair lost a battle in Listowel by half a length, but they were two lengths clear of the third home who came out and won at Killarney. C'est Quelqu'un is certainly going the right way since landing in Ireland. He won over hurdles and fences in Britain and began his Irish career with a pair of runner-up spots in handicap hurdles before winning two handicap chases (including a dead-heat in Downpatrick). He's just the sort of recruit Gordon Elliott is capable of running a sequence up with.
