RICHARD Fahey made his mark at Newbury when 13/8 favourite Ribchester, owned by Godolphin, readily went clear to win the Group 2 Dubai Duty Free Mill Reef Stakes. Runner-up in the Gimcrack, he accounted for Richard Hannon’s Log Out Island, who rediscovered some of his early-season form.

Out of a half-sister to staying Group 3 winner Tactic, Ribchester should have no trouble in staying a mile and Fahey admitted that if he has a Guineas colt, this is it.
