I totally forgot about the 10 pounds - I guess you're right, they probably ran a similar number. If he moved forward from the 3, he would still be dangerous. Still, apart from that move on the turn (good sign as you need that at CD) he could have been more impressive visually in the stretch. Have to respect Came Home purely on class and guts, but for me he showed he's going to pull himself near the front in the derby - he doesn't scare me for the win, though could hang on for 3rd or so. very interested in saarland this week-end - is he the stretch plodder he looked at times last year, or was that first run a sign he's got an earlier move in him. would love to see him move up a little to a winning number.
