Fallon wary of ground for Hurricane

Kieren Fallon is hoping that last season’s Horse of the Year Hurricane Run will be able to handle the testing conditions at the Curragh on his reappearance in the Tattersalls Gold Cup tomorrow.

The Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe winner faces just two rivals in the Group One contest over 10 furlongs, and Fallon will be looking for an instant tonic after the disappointment of George Washington in the 2000 Guineas.
