Verdict

Providing he's fully recovered from an excellent run in a handicap at the Punchestown Festival, Ffos Las winner WEEKEND MILLIONAIR should be good enough to defy his penalty here as Dualla Lord has now started favourite in three of his four runs over hurdles but is still awaiting a first success. Winning chaser Webberys Dream is likely to prove the pick of the remainder but is making his debut over the smaller obstacles this evening.
