This is little better than the average seller and it was at that level that Mr Fudge ended up last season having placed earlier at Leicester and Beverley. Richard Fahey may have a better chance with Sports Reporter, the mount of Danny Tudhope. Karl Burke is also doubly represented with Foreshore and War of Clans while Oisin Murphy rides the unexposed Gossip for Martyn Meade. A good run from EBONY LEGEND wouldn’t be entirely unexpected as he showed ability over this trip at Pontefract last season before failing to handle the quirks of Beverley on his final start.
