FormscanBy Shane Redmond - If REACHING HIGH (12) can improve at all on his recent jumping debut he should be up to winning this. The lightly-raced five-year-old was last of 20 when a gambled-on favourite for the Ascot Stakes Handicap on his first start in a year at Royal Ascot in June, but he put up more of a show when a narrow runner-up to Minella Hollow over hurdles at Killarney last month. The step up in trip for this is likely to suit and he can be fancied ahead of the long-absent Ladbroke Grove who shaped well enough at last year's Punchestown Festival, and the more recent bumper winners Confidence Within and Farney Bridge.%0A
