MURPHY TO RIDE FADALKO

Connections have found a jockey for Fadalko on Saturday but they still do not know where he is going to run.

They have called up Timmy Murphy as a replacement for Mick Fitzgerald who is on the sidelines nursing a cracked shoulder bone.

But whether Fadalko goes to Ascot for the First National Gold Cup Chase or instead travels further north for Huntingdon`s Peterborough Chase is still in the balance.

Fadalko`s trainer Paul Nicholls said this afternoon: 'Timmy Murphy has been booked to ride Fadalko by the horse`s owner Robert Ogden. We`re not sure where he`ll be going yet on Saturday but he will definitely be running.'
