Michael,
Most years, I have no opinion at all at this stage because most of the horses that have shown any promise are not likely to be 10F horses. I don't think that was as true many years ago.
If I gave an opinion now it would be no better than throwing a dart at a list of horses with a good pedigree, from a decent barn, that perhaps showed a little bit more promise in the early routes vs sprints (maybe a debut at a route).
I'll form some opinions very quickly as soon as the very earliest 2005 route preps are run.
I've been one of the more anti-Declan voices, but I really don't have any major problems with him. It's just when you move to the top of division and everyone can see your pluses, I immediately start looking for flaws because I want to cash some bets. He looks vulnerable to me.
