James Walsh hasn't had a winner under Rules since 2012 but has been on board for all five of High Stakes' starts between the flags, winning four of them. The combination should make a bold bid to click again though CLAY ROGERS looks a tough opponent. He's been racing over hurdles and his latest run at Punchestown was his best so far and the trip looks ideal. Colin Bowe's Fame Valley is the type to improve from his run in a Punchestown bumper on Monday while the consistent Jeremy Central looks best of the remainder.
