Mick Fitz gets plum ride on Azertyuiop
Mick Fitzgerald is to step in for the plum ride on Azertyuiop when the Arkle Challenge Trophy winner makes his seasonal reappearance in the Haldon Gold Cup at Exeter next Tuesday.
Trainer Paul Nicholls has been utilising Joe Tizzard while his stable jockey Ruby Walsh has been nursing a leg injury, but the owners of Azertyuiop are keen for Fitzgerald to partner the gelding.
