Richard Fahey’s name appears in the race title and another bold bid is expected from Silver Dust, 5lb higher for winning nicely at Kempton in March. But FORTUNE AND GLORY was beaten less than a length in a higher grade at the same track last time and looks capable of winning off his current mark with Oisin Murphy taking over the reins. Voltaic’s victory at Windsor came over 6f in a claimer while several are looking to take advantage of a slide down the weights including Fares Poet and Hunni. In The Cove is back on a winning mark and Muraahin has the most scope.
