RAISE YOUR HEART is currently rated 137 over hurdles and has generally competed at a high level including in the Champion Hurdle at Cheltenham. Joanna Morgan's charge ran very well in a Listed race over 1m2f at the Curragh last month and this looks a nice start over fences. Beau Michael is another who has been in good company over timber and has some experience over fences having produced his best run when third to Sizing Europe at Punchestown in November. Norther Bay fell when holding every chance at Roscommon on his second start over fences but had no answer to Danehill Willy at Ffos Las when last seen in November. The versatile Pay The Bounty still looks to have some improvement in him and won't be daunted by the fences having won a point at Dromahane.
