Fourneux D'isanka had been finding 2m too short in bumpers before running very well for a long way over timber at Naas where a couple of early mistakes didn't help. Grange Island has had both starts to date over hurdles and caught the eye here in January when heavy going probably wasn't ideal. MORE THAN A MEMORY pulled too hard in what looked a decent contest at Leopardstown in December but stayed on nicely and Derek O'Connor can steer him home. Dysart Dynamo is an obvious threat for the Mullins team as he's a half-brother to the useful Dysart Diamond.
