Arthur Moore has won this three times in recent years and HIGH DESERT can continue the sequence. A winner over timber in November, he was impressive over fences here on New Year's Day and returned to form at Wexford last month. Colls Corner doesn't win often enough and is better handicapped over hurdles while The Book Thief has been badly out of form and hasn't won for over three years. Agus A Vic is getting on in years and hasn't run since October but he scored over the course and distance in August and though 3lb higher his young rider can claim all of that back.
