Glory heads Beg possibles

FAME AND GLORY and Rite Of Passage feature among 12 possible runners in Sunday’s Seamus & Rosemary McGrath Memorial Saval Beg Stakes at Leopardstown.

Aidan O’Brien’s Fame And Glory is a multiple Group One winner over lesser distances and has been stepped up in trip this year with a view to a tilt at the Gold Cup at Royal Ascot next month.

Rite Of Passage, trained by Dermot Weld, has not been seen since winning that two-and-a-half-mile feature last June, but could make his return to action this weekend.
