Sleepytimegirl finished first past the post at Down Royal in September but was disqualified for causing interference. Chois The Idea made a promising start behind Soohaad at Gowran and will have come on for the run but Sweet Mystery, who finished just behind in fourth, had the benefit of a previous outing at the Curragh behind Redoubtable. Several of today's entries ran in that event with ROYAL VISIT just edging out Atack for third spot and this pair look the ones to concentrate on. The former may probably just have needed the run more than Tommy Stack's charge, who started favourite, and can take this for John Oxx and Johnny Murtagh.
