Viaduct Joey is a real staying type who could be supported if the ground turns testing. Uncharted Waters is another who likes testing ground who ploughed through the mud to score at Ballinrobe last month though he's yet to prove he stays this far, nor has Windward Passage. MAGNETIC FORCE has won over this trip on good ground and is just 3lb higher. He's running well enough to be handed the vote though Brog Deas Nua would pose a threat if getting a run from his reserve spot. It's over a year since Hunting Tower won at Wexford and he's only had one run over timber subsequently.
