Stamina-wise, once-useful miler Cry Fury has yet to convince. Former pointer An Tarbh Og hasn't raced since December while Aaman is going hurdling late in life. COOPER'S FRIEND and Monbeg Gold have both won between the flags and could dominate with the former possibly the less exposed and entitled to improve considerably on his debut second under Rules at Southwell. The Clonlisk Bug was a fast-finishing second here 11 days ago but all of the finishers were in a heap that day and the form looks suspect.
