Thomas Remains Friendless Dylan Thomas continues to drift in the betting market as the King George VI And Queen Elizabeth Stakes prepares to take centre stage at Ascot tomorrow.Aidan O'Brien's charge, the impressive winner of the Irish Derby and Irish Champion Stakes in 2006, had been odds-on for the midsummer showpiece not long ago.But with connections expressing concern about his ability to perform on testing ground, and with the recent spell of wet weather showing no signs of relenting, punters remain reluctant to back the son of Danehill.Dylan Thomas drifted out to over 2-1 on Betfair's market, while his stablemate Scorpion shortened to around the 11-4 mark.Betfair spokesman Tony Calvin commented: 'If the rains persist, then I think it is odds-on that Scorpion will go off as favourite for the King George.'The only thing that has dried up has been the money for Dylan Thomas.'(C) PA Sport
