Archipenko - not european per se, but if he gets quick ground, will be a live threat, he has a lovely turn of foot..
Ramonti - reminds me of Falbrav, so so tough, id say he could win from 8-12f this year if they wanted a challenge..
Duke of Marmalade - O'Brien said that he was slightly in pain all of last year and ran well in defeat all season. Apparantly racing pain free and could be huge this year as he seems to go on anything
Peeping Fawn - she turned into a monster last year and while it can be tricky for many older fillies and mares to keep their form, if she does, she should beat the guys
New Approach - As No Chance said, hasnt raced over 10f, but I think the way he runs, that 10f would seem to be his ideal trip.
Doctor Dino - you'd know him well enough, but he truly loves fast ground and a strong pace...
Balius - another traveller who seems to have upped his form abroad..
I know I am probably forgetting a few but will add to this list.

Thanks guys, it was actually Doctor Dino that got me thinking since he wasn't BC Nominated. And I haven't checked all of these yet but most you mentioned earlier aren't nominated which sucks. I want Euros to win the next two BC Classics to show what a joke these synthetics are as a substitute for dirt and how they are only going to lead to the Euros dominating us and the end of the American dirt horse. If you're bored and care to give me a quick schedule of when the top Euro races I should watch out for are I'd be much obliged.
You coming out for the Saratoga meet again brockguy?
