Just looking at the race again tonight, I'm still relatively keen to oppose Tatenen and Calgary Bay (though he is probably the best long-term prospect in the race).

Araldur still interests me at 20/1 standout with Coral. Sandown form took a pretty severe when Free World blew out badly at Ascot, but I still think the race could suit and 20/1 certainly looks too big.

I've also had an interest in Kalahari King at 12's. Hasn't really been tested over fences yet (despite getting turned over at Haydock) but his form from last year reads well and Murphy seems to be bringing him along nicely with the race in mind. The big fear would be that the days of genuine good ground prevailing at the Festival are probably gone.

Any other thoughts? Looks an average enough renewal.
