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.

I completely agree about Father Time. He got a pretty s.hitty ride from Spencer (shocking) in the St. Leger and I thought he ran much better than Mastery in the Great Voltigeur, which ended up being a merry go round. His win on synthetics is the icing on the cake for me.
Muhannak's last race sort of piqued my interest as well. I remember his trainer saying that he wouldn't be back to defend his title when he was told the distance was being increased but I guess he saw enough in his last start to give it a try.
