Champions Weekend draws to a close with a very tough handicap to fathom. Joseph O'Brien won't make the weight on Adjusted and could miss a winner as the son of Montjeu looked progressive when scoring over 1m2f here last month. The assessor has been unable to keep pace with Panama Hat, whose winning run started off a mark of 60 and he's now an incredible 48lb higher. A six-timer isn't out of the question but he'll need to make even more progress in this company. Einsteins Folly stepped up to this trip for the first time at Roscommon and landed a Listed contest while Ancient Sands went on a winning run and completed a four-timer at this time a year ago. Ebadani made all at Bellewstown and will benefit from Sean Corby's claim but this can go to Dermot Weld, whose SHOW COURT was beaten just over a length by Artful Artist at Galway when conceding 12lb and is receiving 1lb here. That was only his second start since last October and he should reverse the form and take this.
