Irish hopes in English Derby final

PLOUGH Lane will have a strong hint of green about it this evening as the Irish go in search of yet another victory in the williamhill.com English Derby. Our two representatives, Barefoot Bullet and Razldazl George, both hold outstanding claims in the stg£75,000 contest.

Favourite to emerge triumphant is the Charlie Lister-trained Taylors Sky, who started his racing career around Youghal.

There is no doubt he has a strong chance after posting record equalling times in his last two victories, but he needs to be at his very best this evening.
