Macarthur can boost Derby prospects

MACARTHUR, second favourite for the Epsom Derby, can give his prospects a major boost by landing the Group 2 Derrinstown Stud Derby Trial at Leopardstown tomorrow.

Currently available between 6-1 and 10-1, depending on where you look, this will tell us whether he is a live possibility or not.

The selection’s main claim to fame thus far is that he is a full-brother to Motivator, who won the Epsom Derby two years ago.
