Verdict
Have A Nice Day was having his first start for new connections when scoring at Naas and a 5lb rise doesn't look enough to prevent another big run. CLUB WEXFORD (NAP) went up 6lb for a narrow victory at Limerick but ran even better when beaten in a triple photo-finish in a stronger race at Leopardstown and can get back to winning ways. Canary Row is 5lb lower than his last victory and has been performing well enough to get competitive but A Few Dollars More has never run over a trip this far and has been beaten over the minimum the last twice.
