There was a lot to like about HELLORHIGHWATER's opening run at Limerick last month and he's to taken to build on that and improve past the more established Iron Fist. Aidan O'Brien's Jousting would also enter the reckoning should the betting suggest he's expected to leave the form of his sole run as a juvenile behind.
