Murtagh set for Ouija ride

ED DUNLOP has booked Johnny Murtagh for the ride on dual Oaks winner Ouija Board in tomorrow week’s Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe at Longchamp.

The Irishman had been due to deputise for regular pilot Kieren Fallon on Lord Derby’s filly in the Yorkshire Oaks last month before she was withdrawn on account of the ground, and Dunlop has chosen him again with Fallon likely to be on Michael Stoute’s North Light.

“Johnny was going to ride her at York and I have booked him again,” said Dunlop.
