PREVIEW - Lifford Oaks final is live on sisracing.tv on Saturday

THE Lifford Oaks has returned for the first time since 2009 with BOYLE Sports stepping in as title sponsor for the €10,000 to-the-winner event over 525 yards.

Damian Maginn's Westway Rossa clocked the fastest time of the year, 28.54sec, when catching Magical Mag in the semis but the Irish Derby finalist, one of three representatives for Pat Guilfoyle, remains favourite with the sponsor.
