DERBY TARGET

ANIMAL rights campaigners who disrupted the Grand National have pledged more protests, with the Epsom Derby among feared targets.

Protestors from Animal Rising stormed the racecourse at Aintree on Saturday, delaying the famous steeplechase by 14 minutes.

Police made 118 arrests, but Animal Rising said yesterday 42 were "de-arrested", with no one yet charged.

After the deaths of three horses at the three-day festival, the group said it aims to start an "unignorable national conversation".
