FormscanBy Donal Murphy - A unique Derby for horses rated in the lowest bracket. ZOFFANY BAY was a bit of an eye-catcher at Tipperary last week and looks well-capable of winning a race of this calibre. A Listed winner over flights when trained in France, he was subsequently out of action for almost two years. He ran a huge race on his return at Ascot in February, finishing second on what was his debut for current connections. Disappointingly pulled up on his next two starts, he put in a much-improved performance reverting to the level at Tipperary and can build on that effort now. While You're Up is given second preference with Colin Keane aboard. He ran well to finish fourth on his only previous visit to Tramore and was a solid seventh of 15 at Leopardstown last month, on what was his first start in well over a year. Magi Gal was just a length behind the selection at Tipperary and should be able to make her presence felt with Siobhan Rutledge claiming 5lb. A winner at Fairyhouse last summer when trained by Jack Davison, Grizabella looks the best of the rest.
