Is it a given Murtagh rides Fame & Glory?

I think FAG will end up around the 4/1 mark. Impressive as he was in the Derrinstown, he has only beaten the same horses twice, and those two looked to be struggling too far out to be top class in both races. In the first they said Mourayan got shuffled back, but i think the second race showed he just doesn't have the pace of a top class horse on decent ground, and i think the Beresford slowed Sea the stars up quite a bit, and shouldn't be taken at face value when assessing Fame and Glory's chances.

Black bear island ran very well in the Dante, only slight worry is did he show too much speed, and with the benefit of a previous run, i'm hoping Freemantle will turn that form around by 4/5 lengths.
