Bank on Ballymac Vic, Droopys Jet and Tyrur Big Mike

Many of the top fancies go into action in the Ladbrokes Irish Derby at Shelbourne Park tonight.

There are three bankers for those who fancy a multiple bet: Ballymac Vic, Droopys Jet and Tyrur Big Mike. Ballymac Vic has been put up at 4-5 by Ladbrokes and it surely represents value, despite the formidable presence in Heat 4 of John Linehan’s Droopys Cain.

Liam Dowling’s Ballymac Vic should lead up and go clear into the back. It could be Airforce Frankie in closest pursuit from his inside draw but from here we’ll be waiting for the power surge from Droopys Cain. The big two can qualify but Ballymac is nominated to lead them home.
