Akeed Mofeed's absence has left a field of five in Sunday's Derrinstown Stud Derby Trial at Leopardstown.

They are headed by Aidan O'Brien's Wrote, winner of the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf and the mount of Ryan Moore.

He was third behind stablemate Daddy Long Legs in the UAE Derby at Meydan on his return in March.

O'Brien also saddles Tower Rock, who is due to be ridden by Seamie Heffernan.

Jim Bolger runs the progressive Light Heavy, who had Tower Rock back in third place when taking the Ballysax Stakes over the course and distance on his latest start.

Completing the quintet are Dermot Weld's Hit The Jackpot and Calgacus, trained by Tracey Collins.
