Defi has definite prospects in maiden

DEFI, the most experienced horse in the field - along with outsider, Mickey Shoes - gets the nap to take the GPT Access Equipment EBF Maiden at the first stage of the Galway Festival this evening.

Kevin Prendergast’s colt has improved with every run and it will be disappointing if he doesn’t, at worst, go very close!

He began with a remote fourth to Amsterdam at Leopardstown and then ran a race rich in promise next time to again fill fourth behind the smart Indesatchel at the Curragh.
