HIGH UP IN THE AIR hasn't looked back since sent chasing so is confidently expected to complete a quick hat-trick in a race where many have little to recommend them. Eurkash rates much the biggest threat to Gary Moore's improver on the back of his Bangor victory, with Hold Me Tight appealing as the pick of the rest and a solid place prospect now he reverts to his optimum trip.
