Whiskey In The Jar may need another run following a very long break while Hideaway Vic tackles the trip for the first time and hasn't looked a natural stayer. Vaziani ran well for a long way over slightly further at Hereford and THE WICKET CHICKEN is a confirmed stayer. A winner over 3m4f over fences, he's run very well over hurdles the last twice and is on a fair mark nowadays. The Game Is A Foot has a fine strike-rate but has yet to prove he stays this far.
