FormscanBy John O'Riordan - A consistent mare, who has been placed in four of her five previous runs, DERRYVILLE can register a first win. The Sam Curling-trained five-year-old finished runner-up to the subsequent Grade 1 Cheltenham bumper winner at Punchestown in December. There was plenty to take from her recent reappearance when a staying on fifth at the Fairyhouse Easter Festival. Sure to be all the sharper following that comeback, the Affinisea mare should be hard to beat. With Emmet Mullins proving a real force in bumpers of late, Tricksofthetrade has to be respected on just her second start under rules. A former point-to-point runner-up, she will appreciate this stiff test. Broomfield Aderra also looks a leading contender under Josh Halford.
