It'll be interesting to watch on Saturday.

It's called champions day, so loads of people will back the favourites blindly. I've got a friend who does this every Saturday.

Other people (like me) think its a good opportunity to take the favourites on, as the opposition is as good as it can ever be. The problem is, even if you go against a favourite...there's no guarantee's you are on the right outsider, i.e. you back a 10/1 shot and another 10/1 wins the bloody race....

"Champion is a two horse race" - Famous last words those I think, Euro.

Isn't there an angle that Magical and one or two other fancied horses have had hard enough races this season when facing nowhere near the level of opposition that they face on Saturday.

Cumulatively there are more serious opponents in this race than what Lord North, Magical, or Mishriff have faced in 2020 thus far. The derby winner Serpentine just as one example is a 14/1 chance, this must say something about how competitive it is.

This is why I fancy the French horse Skalleti. The dark horse or unknown package in the race.
