Derrinstown date for Mourayan

MOURAYAN could bid to get back on the winning trail in the Derrinstown Stud Derby Trial at Leopardstown next month following his defeat at the track on Sunday.

The Alhaarth colt won twice from four starts as a juvenile and was sent off a well-backed favourite on his return to action in the Ballysax Stakes.

After failing to get a run turning for home, the three-year-old finished strongly to take a close-up third behind major Derby fancy Fame And Glory.
