I think sea the stars and gan amhras both will and it's just a case of who gets the luck in running on the day. Bolger sounded extremely confident today and oxx who is normally very reserved has been quite positive. That will do for me. Last year, I was on a nightmare run of form when I bet heavily on casual conquest and new approach to win the derby and that turned my season. I need the same 2 happen 2m!!

I think Black Bear Island will be the best of his six, Brock. I just don't like the horses Fame and Glory has been beating, did you happen to see Hail Caeser run at Navan this evening? He won the two races well, and the second one with a penalty, but all he proved was that he was far better than the same bunch of trees yet again.

I agree though, I'll be shocked if the winner isn't between Sea The Stars and Gan Amhras.
