SOUND AND FURY has realised some fair efforts in defeat and has proven in the past that he’s more than capable of coping with plenty of give underfoot. Jamie Snowden’s runners often find support in the market so a move for Kitesurfer would be no surprise. Go Steady may be one of the older members of the party though he has historically come to hand at this time of the season. Rossbeigh Strand isn’t out of this if a recent wind surgery has had the desired effect.
