Pat Fahy has not had a winner from 35 starters in Britain since Quadco took the Champion Bumper at Aintree in April 2000, but the bare stats do not tell the full story, as most were running at the fiercely competitive spring Festivals and he has rattled the woodwork on several occasions.
Fahy has two live contenders for the Scottish Grand National at Ayr on Saturday in Stormy Judge (3.35) and History Of Fashion, and the seven-year-old grey is an excellent bet at around 9-1 to capture the £85,000 first prize for his small County Carlow stable.
