Verdict

MAKE MY HEART FLY impressed when winning at Perth last time out and she can follow up by taking this handicap hurdle. The step up in trip shouldn't inconvenience and she can see off her rivals here while second place can go to Blue Skimmer who was placed here last month. Recent Sligo winner Cock A Doodle Doo can take third on handicap bow.
