Derrintogher Yank, Dun An Doras and Let's Fly are three against the field in this hunters chase and the vote is given to Derrintoger Yank. The selection won well last time out when beating Old Kilminchy. He again has conditions in his favour and he need only put in a fluent round of fencing to score. Dun An Doras rates the main danger as he won a match in good style last time out. However this looks more competitive and his overall profile leaves him with a little to find. Let's Fly won well last time when beating Karadin but he would not want any rain. Of the remainder Enitsag is game and consistent and is sure to run his race but Derrintogher Yank sets a fair standard and he will be hard to beat.
