Anyone taking Dermot Weld's presence, to see Majestic Concorde and Lead The Parade in action, as being significant, got their reward in the bumper when the latter ran out a decisive three and a half length winner.
Robbie McNamara (his brother Andrew had a double) rode Dr Ronan Lambe's representative with plenty of confidence and once sent about his business a furlong out the son of Old Vic quickened well to beat the favourite, The Biscuit Club
Weld commented: "He is a lovely big horse and I see him as a hurdler/chaser in time. Two and a half miles will probably be his trip. He jumps very well and he'll go for a maiden hurdle in the next few weeks."
Lead The Parade scoped badly when a disappointing favourite at Leopardstown on St Stephen's Day. (EM)
