High Reach has shown a consistent level of form on the all-weather and turf recently so Terry Mills¿ charge can be expected to play a prominent role here. He was considered a little unlucky in running at Leicester last week and connections had no hesitation in dropping him back to six furlongs. If Arzoo is anywhere near fit then Luca Cumani¿S colt could give High Reach something to think about. He will love the fast ground and has the scope to progress from his Musselburgh win last backend. Quick¿s The Word is upped in trip and class but comes from a stable that do well on their visits here, while hat-trick seeking Fonthill Road sneaks in on bottom weight and runs here in preference to an alternative engagement at Kempton on Saturday. Pigeon Point has each-way claims as well in a tricky opener, but High Reach gets the vote.
