46 horses remain... On monday we lost 10 horses at the 5-day declaration stage.
Notre Pere (too much weight), Deutchsland (age), Dooneys Gate (experience), Anothercoppercoast and Cossack Dancer (OR below 135) were already out.
Air Force One, Chelsea Harbour, Equus Maximus, Lennon and Razor Royale reduce the 'winners' to 41.
The last horse to have not previously won at 3 miles or more was Gay Trip in 1970. Every winner since has winning experience at 3 miles or more. Obviously this is a 4 1/2m race so stamina is very important.
Of the remaining 41 horses, Made In Taipan, Pablo Du Charmil, Maljimar, Cerium (5th last year), Faasel, Duers and Pak Jack have not won a race over 3 miles.
Both Ballyholland and Conna Castle have 3m Point To Point wins and stay in for now.
34 remain.
