I have heard though that the recent Arc was not a vintage field (not my opinion, just repeating something I saw), wonder if a similar feeling is held among other divisions in Europe this year as well & if it'll just be a matchup of US vs. Europe mediocrity.

I always on the look out for improving, unexposed types and especially at the BC
I am looking for fillys or Geldings taking Lasix for the first time.
The form book here in the UK has gone to pot the last 4 weeks and I think one of our hottest summers we’ve ever had is taking it’s toll on the horses.
Our horses have not been used to running week in week out on quick ground.
I am not suggesting the UK won’t have any winners but I am expecting American horses to dominate the turf this year.
Newspaperofrecord, Bulletin seem stand out turf horses for me.
I actually think the French horses are better this year then the UK/Ireland horses. Although Aiden O’Brien is always a trainer to take seriously, after looking at last year... his crop imo were better and he only managed one winner.
I just think USA have a crop of superstars on turf lurking this year.
Enable is quite possibly the best Filly I’ve ever seen. She may go down as the greatest filly but I think she won’t she her best on Saturday... if she shows her best she will be very impressive but I think she will jump out and fade out of the finish.
