Agent Of Fortune, the forgotten man of last season’s two-year-olds, is on the way back and is being targeted at the R2.5 million Lanzerac Ready To Run at Kenilworth on November 18.

The What A Winter colt, then owned by Mayfair Speculators in partnership with Bryn Ressell and Marsh Shirtliff, was considered good enough to make his debut in the valuable Kuda Sprint on Met day and he beat the Sean Tarry-trained Cirillo by a short head. But he has not been seen since.

Vaughan Marshall said: “He chipped a knee when he got to Durban and it will be another six to eight weeks before he runs but he will make the Ready to Run.”

Agent Of Fortune and Cirillo are both rated 102 and jointly top the log for the rich 1 400m race, 2kg clear of the filly Can You Feel It.

Horizon, who had a knee-chip operation following the Sun Met when he was reported not striding out, reappears in the 1 250m Supabets Pinnacle Stakes at Durbanville on Saturday. Aldo Domeyer rides him and Bernard Fayd’Herbe will be back on stable companion Tevez. Fayd’Herbe won a Pinnacle on the veteran at Kenilworth in June.

The MR 96 mile handicap attracted only four runners and has been scrapped but the 1 400m maiden, which saw 27 declared, has been divided.
