Fury Road was so impressive when landing a point at Dromahane in May that he went for E205,000 at the sales. He has a superb pedigree and will soon be making his mark under Rules. Exit Poll has been narrowly beaten in both starts on good going and easier ground should be in his favour while Sempo caught the eye on his debut at Listowel in September and will have come on markedly for the experience. ALLAHO has joined the champion trainer after a very encouraging debut over hurdles in a Listed contest at Auteuil in March. He'll be ready for this and gets the vote though it looks a race to follow in the coming weeks.
