Still a whole lot of contenders out there. These next 2 months are going to be very exciting. That Shamardal looks very interesting, but I can't see him going anywhere this year if he takes the UAE route.

Far too much is built into the UAE route. How many attempts has Godolphin tried? I believe five, and their horses have ran respectable never finishing worse than ninth. Shamardal shouldn't be dismissed regardless of whatever prep he takes. He is a very very good horse.
