Father Time is VERY interesting in the marathon. I thought he had a slightly rougher trip than Mastery in the St. Leger and he already has a win on synth, whereas Mastery finished fourth behind Mafaaz in his only start on poly (granted, that was a while ago and prior to the trainer change).
I'm probably the only person on earth who thinks Muhannak has a chance.
You can toss the Dubai races, then the first start back from the lay-off, then the Kempton debacle, and then the race that was too short for him. His last was very much an improved effort and maybe he's ready to fire again. He still might not be good enough to beat a few others in here, but I'm using him at a pretty big price.
I'll take Cloudy's Knight over Nite Light as far as the Americans go.
