Conditions won’t be a problem for BROUGHTONS RHYTHM and Oliver Sherwood’s 10-year-old can finally notch a first victory over fences at the 10th attempt. Adman Sam has been quite consistent since switching to the larger obstacles and there should be more to come from Hugo's Reflection this winter. Carole's Vigilante is a brother to a winning chaser and loves the mud so can’t be ignored.
