Griffin hoping it’s Derby day

EOIN Griffin is hoping The Last Derby can regain his sparkle in the paddypower.com Cork Grand National at the Mallow course on Sunday.

The summer has not gone to plan for the six-year-old, whose finest hour came exactly 12 months ago when he won the United House Gold Cup at Ascot.

Although he landed a hurdle race at Cork in July, he has since been well-beaten in the Galway Plate and Munster National.
