Murtagh gets the call up

JOHNNY MURTAGH is looking forward to teaming up with one of Aidan O’Brien’s three possible runners in the Stan James 1000 Guineas at Newmarket on Sunday.

He is on stand-by to partner the Ballydoyle yard’s second string with stable jockey Kieren Fallon having first choice.

That could be the current 4-1 favourite Rumplestiltskin, who proved herself the champion staying juvenile filly of 2005 with victories in two Group Ones, the Moyglare Stud Stakes and the Prix Marcel Boussac.
