Mountain High chased home the subsequent Listed Pretty Polly S. winner Fashionable (GB) in the Wood Ditton S. at Newmarket over a mile on his debut Apr. 13 and carried a weight of punter confidence while being stepped up in trip here. Settled in a stalking second throughout the early stages, the 4-9 pick was asked to take control of the race by Kieren Fallon at the three-furlong marker. Lengthening clear at the end of the turn into the straight, he was pushed out with hands and heels to beat High Arctic (GB) (Pivotal {GB}) by five lengths. The winner is a 1/2 to Greek Dance (Ire) (Sadler's Wells), Hwt.
