Seem to remember we had one of these last year - horses who you think will do well but aren't high profile.

I'll put up one I saw win at Galway I think it was in a flat handicap back in July/August. Dani California, was impressed with the way he ran that day in a 12f handicap and expect him to run well in the Juvenile Hurdles in Ireland :)
 
Does Blythe Knight count as a dark horse?

Limited Edition could well be very good this year in handicap chases, and is well worth following.
 
I wouldnt say Glencove Marina is dark. Kamberlite King will do well this year in novice hurdle, if only i knew who is running tomorrow for evan williams should wina few races. Millards lad as well trained by Allan Bateman.
 
I saw that Dalmatian had an entry later on in the week (as I may be going to Huntingdon),can't remember the stable having too many runners in bumpers in the past.

jft ~ Glencove Marina - you are having a laugh surely? Exactly how "dark" can a Grade 1 winner be? You're being perverse in your choice.
 
I hear that a certain R Delargy has shelled out a not inconsiderable sum for a potential Champion Bumper horse.

OK ~ my dark horse is Taranis. :ph34r:

On a serious note, I've been a fan for some time of Henrietta Knight's Calgary Bay, who has been narrowly beaten in both his bumpers. You won't see the best of him until he jumps a fence but he is a fabulous physical specimen who will be very good.

....and I hope Goober's kidding ~ how can he possibly know of a better horse then mine??
 
Ahem, Delargy - who drew your attention to Calgary Bay?! Eh?????

As for the last comment, don't worry, just keep yours to mares only races!!!
 
Dark Horse = Freds Benefit.

(I can't agree with Dalmation, btw. There are plenty who could knock spots off him.)
