Alamshar gets tentative vote

THERE are some doubts about Alamshar meeting tomorrow’s Group Two Derrinstown Stud Derby Trial engagement at Leopardstown.

Alamshar burst an abscess in his near-hind leg earlier in the week but galloped yesterday morning and was okay afterwards.

The son of Key Of Luck will do some more work this morning with his trainer, John Oxx, reporting he is 90% certain to run. If the joint favourite for the Epsom Derby does show up then, obviously, punters will have to think seriously about supporting him.
