The weather is also an X factor, they are supposed to get rain, just not sure how much. That course can get a little speedy with moisture in it because of the sand-base and Little Mike scratching definitely helps Get Stormy and I think you have to plan on him getting back to his 1 from last year at this distance and get a very good trip doing it.
Rahystrada, Court Vision, and Battle of Hastings can all very reasonably get to a 1 as well, but may have trips that offset the weight difference. Doubles Partner and Moryba could get there too, but seem a little less certain.
I don\'t see Prince Will I Am getting below 2, he has already developed this year and also not convinced he would like damp ground. Don\'t think Al Khali or Smart Big can break thru the 2 barrier either.
The one that still concerns me is Stately Victor. I know his other turf tries are pretty far out of line with his synth efforts, but something bothers me about tossing him for some reason.
I\'m probably keying Stormy Atlantic and BoH and using Rahy/CV/DoubPart/Moryba underneath and using all 6 in my horizontals. Incredibly tough race and if I get thru it, it will be a huge relief.
