Didn't get chance to pick one up today; who were the 10 dark horses they put up for the Festival?

Vulcanite (Jewson Novices Chase)
Empiracle (Bumper)
Carlito Brigante (Novices Handicap Chase)
Wonderful Charm (World Hurdle)
Ruacana (Triumph)
Argocat (Jewson Novices Chase)
Alderwood (Grand Annual)
Vasco Du Ronceray (Triumph)
Merry King (National Hunt Chase)
Viva Colonia (Grand Annual)

Not all of 'em that dark considering there's a Nicholls horse, a Henderson horse, two former festival winners and Empiracle has been well touted for the bumper.

Best cases, imo, were made for Vulcanite, Merry King and Viva Colonia.

Paul Kealy also made the excellent point that Cantlow and some of the early market leaders for the Novices Handicap Chase are already rated over 140 and therefore cannot run in the race and so should not be listed (unless their ratings come down before the entries presumably) - so watch your bets for that one.

Cheers mate, as you say some of those are hardly dark horses
