SERGEANT FURY needed only to beat one rival to bring up the hat-trick over C&D last month, but he's clearly in excellent heart and a 2 lb rise may not be enough to prevent the 4-timer. Max Of Stars is a course specialist with 3 wins from 4 starts at Newton Abbot and rates a major danger despite being high enough in the weights now. Hope Rising has shown steady improvement in novice company and could play a major role, also.
