Murtagh excited by Royal appointment
Johnny Murtagh believes the Andre Fabre-trained Royal And Regal will be suited to conditions in the Budweiser Irish Derby at the Curragh.
Fabre’s charge, an impressive scorer at Longchamp on his last start, is joined in the line-up by compatriot Shamdinan, third behind Lawman in the French Derby.
