Market support for Harrison's Cave after a break would have to be taken seriously as the Galileo colt looks nicely handicapped on the pick of last year's form. But we are sticking with REACH THE STARS, who is now starting to make inroads into her expensive purchase price after getting off the mark on her reappearance at Limerick in April. She hails from a family that improve with age and should be capable of holding her own in better company this year. She's A Staker was third over a mile at Listowel on her latest start but is taken a steep rise in trip here while Mr Pianist's only success has come on the Polytrack. Spring Hawk is a consistent sort, however, and should give another good account if handling the slight drop in distance.
