Powers Gold Cup is a done deal for Hughes

DESSIE HUGHES believes Deal Done will be up to the task as he steps up to Grade One company for the first time in tomorrow's Powers Gold Cup at Fairyhouse.

The six-year-old opened his account over fences in hugely impressive style at Navan last month and Hughes feels the testing conditions will play a huge part in the outcome of Sunday’s contest.

“It is a step up in class but he was impressive the last day and he might be up to it,” said Hughes.
