GOLLY TO LAND DERBY

There are 11 declared for the most valuable Flat race on the northern calendar, the Charles Hurst Ulster Derby, and Golly Gosh may prove difficult to beat.

Michael Halford and Tadhg O´Shea have been in good form again this season, and the four-year-old has shaped well on both outings this term including when scoring over this distance at Leopardstown.

Dermot Weld landed this event in 2000 with Media Puzzle, and recent chase winner Stage Affair appears the pick of his two runners.

The EBF Coolmore Stud Ulster Oaks is the main supporting event on this seven race all Flat card, and Maigue Princess may prove difficult to beat.

Jim Bolger´s yard returned to form at Naas on Wednesday evening with a treble, and this filly can progress further after justifying favouritism at Gowran Park three weeks ago.

Mrs St George can gain reward for her consistency by taking the juvenile maiden.
