Richard Fahey is relishing the prospect of saddling his first ever Investec Derby runner after Mickdaam booked his ticket to Epsom in a thrilling renewal of the MBNA Chester Vase.
The Musley Bank handler is one of the most upwardly mobile trainers in the game but has yet to have a horse worthy of a place in the most prestigious British Classic of them all.

Marcret (13-2) came down the near side of the course to claim the Betfair Huxley Stakes at Chester.
The Group Three heat was a personal success for locally-based owner Dr Marwan Koukash as his colours were also carried by the runner-up Myplacelater.
Marco Botti's Marcret, formerly trained by his brother Stefano in Italy, landed the spoils as he handled the conditions in tremendous style with Ryan Moore bringing him wide to make a winning challenge.

Bonfire burning brightly.

Bonfire aims to keep his Derby dream alive on his seasonal return in Friday's Stobart Barristers Dee Stakes at Chester.
The Manduro colt made a big impression when winning on his debut at Salisbury last September and then ran a fine third in the Group One Criterium International at Saint-Cloud. The form could hardly be stronger given the winner, French Fifteen, won the Prix Djebel last month before running second in last weekend's 2000 Guineas at Newmarket.
