Booking Ryan Moore on the Willie Mullins trained REACHING HIGH (15) is of note. Denied a nose over 1m4f at Leopardstown on his stable debut a month ago and can relish this much stiffer stamina test. Talented dual purpose horse EAST INDIA DOCK (7) readily got the better of a subsequent winner in the valuable Chester Cup (Handicap) last time. Remains unexposed on the flat racing for a yard that does well with this type of performer. Winner of the G1 Triumph Hurdle this year PONIROS (20) was successful on the flat for his previous connections and cannot be ignored from foot of the weights now back on the level under William Buick. Narrow last-time-out Goodwood (2m) winner MANXMAN (8) stays well and could be in the mix. LIARI (10) might also go well.
