Five-time turf/AW winner for Richard Fahey; comes into this on a losing run of 17 but, having been well backed on his return from four months off (usual headgear removed), he found just one too good on stable debut here (1m) 11 days ago; only 1lb higher, but has to prove his stamina for the new trip.
