Race preview
HELDAM may be able to make a winning start for Willie Mullins. The Doctor Dino gelding won a point-to-point back in February and the form of that race got a boost recently with the runner-up Lord Rouge winning a maiden hurdle at Cork. Premier Division was well fancied on his debut at Fairyhouse, but could only finish third to stablemate Keep Him Company. That looked like a solid bumper and he could progress a bit for the run. Minella Machine cost 350,000 euro after winning his point-to-point and is another who has to be considered.
