Bar the Ballydoyle older brigade I am struggling to think of many top class older horses staying in training for next year. Any come to mind?

Like many of the very best ten-furlong horses, Powerscourt has that ability to quicken. He's a very tough and genuine horse and was a joy to train."—Aidan O'Brien
Is Honolulu still at Ballydoyle Gal? Thought I heard he was moving on after his run in Canada..
I would imagine Aqaleem will be back next year as well..
Hard Top
I've seen a look in dogs' eyes, a quickly vanishing look of amazed contempt, and I am convinced that basically dogs think humans are nuts. (John Steinbeck)

I think I read in the Racing Post on a piece about Cecil's revival that Light Shift had been retired but Passage of Time was to stay in training.

Hardasun is the Aussie colt Gal refers to.

You are correct David.
I haven't heard of stud plans for any of these so they might possibly race in 2008:
Youmzain
Dandy Man
Red Rocks
Maraahel (think they were trying to find him a place at stud?)
...and Creachadoir...
Yeah, Youmzain is going to run in Dubai and Dandy Man has moved to Godolphin.
Royal Rock, Sundae and Premio Loco.
Youmzain and Halicarnnassus stay in training.
Don't bank on Majestic Roi just yet, could be off to gainsborough stud
