Default Top Euros at 10 furlongs

Who figure to be the top Euros this year at the mile and a quarter distance? I'm curious to see which ones are BC nominated.

Duke Of Marmalade could be the new Dylan Thomas, he's the first to spring to mind,
Ramonti as well.

I suppose, thinking about it, out of the ones that are still in training. Ramonti would be at the top on last years' form.

Out of the 3yo's, I suppose New Approach would be most capable at 10 furlongs (although never raced at that distance).

I would have put Darjina up there, but she was disappointing at the weekend

See, I thought her best trip would be 10 furlongs.

There are some unexposed types, that could turn out to be top class over this trip: Twice Over, Phoenix Tower, Creachadoir, Listen, You'resothrilling.

I suppose we should also give a ention to Soldier of Fortune, who seems to have been forgotten by many.

Duke of Marmalade is actually BC nominated. I wonder if he'll come over. Ramonti, Darjina, and New Approach are all not BC nominated which would definitely reduce the chances of any of them coming over.

I'd love to see New Approach run in the classic this year, but due to his trainer (who likes to do things the traditional way) it is VERY unlikely to see him run in America, let alone in the Classic.

After Aidan's luckless venture last year (and the terrible loss of George) it will be interesting to see what view he takes of the BC this year.
