Richard Fahey has won two of the last three renewals and runs three in the Koukash colours today. The Feathered Nest won over track and trip back in May under Paul Hanagan but the latter sides with GABRIAL THE DEVIL today, who has placed on several occasions at the track this year and finished in front of Showmethedough when third here in July. Mickey is usually thereabouts without winning but gets no respite from the handicapper as a consequence while this is much tougher than the race Misty Birnam won at Redcar last month.
