Heat 9

This looks a match between Shaneboy Freddie and Soutfield Jock (11-8 BET 365) with the red as the obvious danger. Three and four should be able to dominate the rails with Jock one of the few with enough pace to get clear. Sel 4-3-1

 

Heat 10

Another slick break should ensure that Blue Cafu (2-1 BET 365) get the rails at the first bend. If anything can pass, they will probably have to run a 28.40 or better. Bubbly Turbo ran very well in the first round and Castell Henry never runs a bad race Sel 2-3-5

 

Heat 11

Hiya Butt (5-4 BET 365) was as impressive as anything in the first round. Has a Farloe Blitz look about him. Face The Blade should get a clear run on the outside and Calco Flyer can never be left out of a tricast Sel 1-6-3

Heat 12

Not the strongest heat on the card and Calzaghe Billy (4-5 BET 365) looks comfortable in this company. Old Joe Golden will presumably rally after a slightly disappointing first round run. Droopys Ambitions probably extend to longer distances Sel 1-6-5

CALZAGHE BILLY (t2) leads early in his heat 37 win from Stay Lucky (t6) in 28.32 (N).

Heat 13

This heat looks to have the potential for a shock. Can Barkley clear Ballymac Matt at the bend and from two, how will the Irish Derby winner take the bend? Monty Don (25-1 BET 365) ran a cracker behind Hiya Butt and might cause a huge surprise at big odds. We must be due one Sel 4-2-3

 

Heat 14

Not the stongest of the heats and one in which Boyneside Fun (1-1 BET 365) can dominate from trap six. He ran very gamely to beat Ballymac Shirley and should secure an easier run this time. Tel 6-4-2

 

Heat 15

If Jaytee Spartacus traps well, he will be gone and the clock could be in danger. But stumbled at the boxes and can’t afford to do that again with four likely to drift across his path. Three ran well first time out but less well drawn. Two looks green. A surprise from Ginas Lad (11-2 BET 365) red? 1-3-5

Ginas Lad (t1) gets first run on Droopys Roddick (t3) before landing a 14-1 shock in heat 8. Clondoty Alex (t2) gave Mark Wallis the 1-2, with Roddick third. William Hill Derby 1st Round. Thursday 5th May 2016. Photo: Steve Nash

Heat 16

Jaytee Jet would be favourite to win this at Shelbourne, but this is Plough Lane and that might suit Sanchez (5-2 BET 365) . Besides, the slow breaking big striding Jet is not certain to clear the hefty orange where Sanchez should dominate the rail Sel 3-6-5
