Make My Heart Fly has won twice over fences but has looked a few pounds high on recent form. Stable companion Moratorium, a winning bumper and hurdler, has come up against stiff opposition in three starts over fences while Memory Tree made a promising start for Henry De Bromhead at Naas and looks best of the stable's three entries. He was earlier beaten almost 5 lengths by BITVIEW COLIN at Listowel and though there's little between the pair at the revised weights the later gets the nod. Askann stays further than this but with conditions likely to make it a stiff test of stamina she has to be on the shortlist. Champagne Beauty has shown her best form on quicker ground while Theatre World's victory at Musselburgh was on good going. La Tektor was engaged in the 3.20 here yesterday.
