On Fiddlers Green looked in need of this sort of trip when fourth at Naas and should go well though he was 18l behind THE GATECHECKER in a heavy-ground bumper here on St Stephens Day and is hardly likely to reverse the form with Mick Hourigan's charge, who looks a smart prospect. Shake It Up was just starting to make ground when a mistake stopped him in his tracks over the minimum at Navan and he will be suited by the longer trip. The remainder will do well to get involved though Apache Park should do better in time.
