    Can anybody explain why Fury is such a short price for the race having run plum last in his last three starts being beaten 11 lengths, 14 lengths and 11 lengths respectively, weakening in two races over a mile at the finish and eased in the other.
    I saw him run in two of these contests at Newmarket last year and thought he looked as though he had lost interest in the game.
    Whether the booking of Beschizza can breath new life into him remains to be seen but surely this is a favourite worth opposing. :wink:

    Mart: Apart from KF tipping him up! Punters must surely be pinning their hopes on the fact he will return to his 2yo form?

    Have you seen Mick lately?

    Fury has been supported because of the trainer’s record in the race, the belief that gelding him has got rid of his sourness etc. The biggest concern for anyone who has backed him should be the trainer’s weekend statement that he really needs some rain at Doncaster to be seen in the best light.

    Of course there is no guarantee that gelding the male of the species will make them any more useful, if that were so the NHS would be truly over-worked and the local Chinese restaurant would have sweet and sour pork balls in plentiful supply :D

    Though I do not like the race from a betting point of view, I think Mull of Killough will run well. He has been steadily supported over the last few days and appears to have a respectable draw.
