Panther can further boost Derby prospects

There should be a huge crowd in Dundalk this evening where Milldean Panther returns to action in the Boylesports International .

John O’Flynn Jnr’s brilliant tracker has been off the track since winning the Formula One Grand Prix at Curraheen back on April 21 but connections believe his back problems are behind him. His trial runs have been very encouraging and a bigger problem for a confirmed inside seed may be the trap six draw.

There are no cross channel entries but it does feature six home stars and the Panther’s rivals include the Derby, Oaks, Betfair 600 and Cox Cup champions as well as the Oaks runner-up and that illustrates the quality of this field.
