Vinnie can shrug off top weight
Dermot Weld’s admirable six-year-old has done the business first time up for the past two campaigns and that is, obviously, encouraging. He was last seen back in October when finishing fourth in the French Leger at Longchamp, in a contest run in very testing conditions.
Previously, Vinnie Roe ran a cracker in the Arc at Longchamp, fifth to Dalakhani. His only other two races were at home, landing a Listed event at Leopardstown and a third Irish Leger at the Curragh.
