From the connections
“River Derwent was starting to show a little bit of form of late. Adam (Caffrey) was outstanding on him, it's nice to see him recapture a bit of form. He handled that surface well and we'll keep coming here - Dick Donohoe, trainer, talking to Racing TV.”
“River Derwent is a good looking horse. When he goes up to a mile and a quarter he should be even better. He's a nice horse going forward - Brendan Powell, assistant trainer.”
