Irish still hold the aces at Wimbledon

IRISH hopes of winning the williamhill.com English Derby hit a speed bump at Wimbledon on Tuesday night with the elimination of Razldazl Jayfkay, but we remain in a dominant position with Barefoot Bullet, Razldazl George and Melodys Royal all hold outstanding claims in this evening’s semi-finals.

Much will depend on how they negotiate the opening turn of the quirky Plough Lane circuit, but barring serious traffic problems all three should qualify for next weekend’s £75,000 decider.

Barefoot Bullet is our sole representative in the opening heat, where he has a favourites chance. Track record holder Taylors Sky is the biggest threat, although the early pace of Fifis Rocket could also see him involved.
