Thank you Bar. Much appreciated.

I think there is a fair argument to say they should be. A bit like in the King George, whilst Long Run is the most likely winner, I don't think there should be such a price discrepancy between the 'big two'. Long Run at 11/4 or 5/2 looks fair but I would have Kauto Star nearer the 3/1 mark. I really do think the 9/2 is terrific, especially as he can only shorten as the big day approaches.

The prospect of Long Run being unimpressive in his trial is very real as far as I'm concerned and that could even lead to Kauto challenging for favouritism, especially once the Nicholls preview/hype machine hits top gear.
