FormscanBy John O'Riordan - HIGH ALTITUDE has a tricky outside draw to negotiate but is simply too well handicapped to ignore. A winner here off 81 this time last year, the eight-year-old can now race off a rating of 65. He remains in good heart despite his advancing years, as evidenced by a close up second in a stronger contest over course and distance last month. Tashim has the ability to win a race of this nature but as a hold up horse, he needs to get the breaks at the right time. Having failed to do so on his two most recent starts, connections will be hoping for better luck now. Rockbury Lad has also endured less than straightforward passages on a few occasions this season. Trainer Michael O'Callaghan will be hoping that the three-year-old enjoys a welcome change of fortune.
