Verdict

Trainer Jim Bolger has won this race twice in recent years and his CLONGOWES can break his maiden by claiming this competitive renewal of the Ulster Derby. The selection has been consistent in maiden company and can get off the mark at the first attempt in handicaps at the expense of Tilly's Chilli one of three fillies in the race and a winner of her last three starts in handicap company. Wingingit is bidding to complete a hat-trick today while Finn McCool who drops in grade for this is another to respect here.
  1. Clongowes
  2. Tilly's Chilli
  3. Wingingit
