How to install drawer handles close to the top?

[KellieN]

 Hi there, I bought these handles and was hoping to put them as close to the top of the drawer  as possible. I'm worried the timber will split so I intend to use a small drill bit to start with then work my way up to a bigger one.  Do you have any other suggestions? Or are these handles intended to be placed in the centre of the drawer.

Thanks heaps

New holes and no splits!

Looks like a fantastic result so far @KellieN.

Can't wait to see it when it's all finished up.

Thanks for updating @KellieN.
