Reaching High
No shortage of potential players in a cracking renewal with REACHING HIGH selected to come out on top. He made a very solid start for Willie Mullins when finding only one ridden more prominently too good on return at Leopardstown (12f) 32 days ago and, completely unexposed over marathon trips, he's of firm interest again. Poniros was a remarkable winner of the Triumph Hurdle at Cheltenham in March and also needs factoring in. Chester Cup winner East India Dock and Manxman are others to consider.

Acquired by connections for 200,000 gns and produced a remarkable effort when making a winning hurdles debut in the Triumph at Cheltenham in March. Proved that no fluke when runner-up in Punchestown Grade 1 next time and potentially well treated on those efforts returned to the Flat.

Relished the step up to 1¾m when easily off the mark at Wolverhampton in August. Clearly not himself in Melrose at York next time but resumed for new yard/after 9 months off with a very good second of 14 in handicap at Leopardstown (12f) 32 days ago.

4-y-o who made a fine start over hurdles for James Owen, winning 3 times prior to a sound third in the Triumph at Cheltenham. Career-best display returned to this sphere when landing Chester Cup (18.6f) in good style 39 days ago and this even longer trip could unlock further improvement.

5-y-o who boasts a fine strike rate and showed himself better than ever when winning 12-runner handicap at Goodwood (2m, good) 25 days ago, by neck from Mr Hampstead. Return to this longer distance promises to hold no fears (second in last season's Cesarewitch) and he's one to consider.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosGoodwood2mGoodFlat1/12Southwell2m 102yStandardFlat2/10Newmarket (rowley)2m 2fSoftFlat2/24Southwell2m 102yStandardFlat1/11Ascot1m 6f 34yGood (Good to Soft in places)Flat3/11- 14(11)Alphonse Le GrandeJ: Jamie SpencerT: A.

Signed off a highly-productive 2024 with success in the Cesarewitch at Newmarket (18f) and left the impression he'll be a lot sharper for last month's reappearance twelfth of 20 in handicap at the Curragh (14f) 23 days ago.

Improver stepped up to 2m this season, comfortably off the mark at Goodwood before finishing a very good neck second behind Manxman over same C&D 25 days ago, deserving of extra credit having helped force the pace.

Very useful and versatile performer who ran his best race over fences when fourth in a Cheltenham Festival handicap in March.

Ended a frustrating run of seconds when a wide-margin winner at Dundalk (2m) in November and picked up where he left off following a 5-month break when following up at Cork (12f) 6 weeks ago, battling well.

Lightly-raced sort who made a winning reappearance at the Curragh (12f) in March and more than backed that up when good 3½ lengths fourth behind East India Dock in last month's Chester Cup.

Won the Queen Alexandra at this meeting 2 years ago and first success since when landing Curragh Group 3 last autumn.

Two from 2 as a juvenile and very lightly raced since, far from disgraced despite finishing last of 4 in Sagaro Stakes at this course (2m, firm) in April.
