The progressive WILLIAM HAIGH registered a hat-trick when winning at Wolverhampton last month. His first win came over C&D, however, and Alan Swinbank's charge is worth sticking with here despite a further 5lb rise. Reve De Nuit has won this for the last two years and had Trans Sonic behind last January. He's 4lb higher this time around, however, while the consistent Blue Moon returns to the Fibresand for the first time since last year's racecourse debut though had Justonefortheroad behind at Wolverhampton last time. Standpoint looks best of the remainder.
