Make My Heart Fly has been surprisingly lightly raced over this sort of trip. Tigris River was just behind Galway Plate fourth The West’s Wake when a close-up fourth at Kilbeggan but has struggled to stay this far in the past. The distance would also be a concern for the once-smart Max Dynamite, who hasn’t run over hurdles in exactly two years, but it will suit GO ANOTHER ONE. John McConnell’s charge won in Grade 3 and Listed company last year and ran at the Cheltenham Festival in March. His long-term future will be over fences but he can land this. Line Out will also be back chasing sooner rather than later.
