Mike I wasn't trying to give you a hard time as I didn't see your comments until now when I posted. Discreet Treasure has just been one of those "Hoovers" sucking up good money while posting solid numbers and I think the turf is more desperation than desired choice but if he beats me tomorrow I'll sing your praises......

4th Appears to be wide open as well as the 5th
