    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
    Hurricane Fly - whatever he runs in he wins

    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.

    Tex Morgan. Taafe allways said he will make into a very good chaser
    Some people say he’s the best since Arkle and that’s certainly true when you look at what he’s done

    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.

    No Blythe Knight is not a dark horse!!!!!

    Will, I think you mean Aaron Bateman!
    Moderation is a fatal thing. Nothing succeeds like excess.

    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.

    I think Dbest is quite well handicapped.

    I know one thats better than the one rory knows.
    I could be the judge!

    I don't know half of you half as well as I should like, and I like less than half of you half as well as you deserve.
