Verdict

A winner of a Dundalk maiden in November, LOUGH DERG has progressed in defeat subsequently, runner-up behind Derby favourite Bolshoi Ballet in Group 3 company at Leopardstown 24 days ago. He's entitled to do better still and is fancied to come out on top. Patrick Sarsfield, Bolivar and O'Reilly head up the dangers.

  1. LOUGH DERG (IRE)
