FormscanBy Gary Carson - Smart Flat performer REACHING HIGH (3) can land a nice prize over jumps here. The Sea The Stars gelding improved from his initial run over timber when scoring in impressive fashion at Listowel in late September. This nice ground will play to his strengths. With Nolimit is more of a traditional national hunt type. He took his maiden hurdle over further at Down Royal, and was an easy winner that day. The Bande gelding was narrowly edged out in a Grade 2 bumper last term and is a nice staying novice prospect. Pat O’s Rock won well on his hurdling debut and is open to plenty of improvement. He’s another to note.
