I have not removed any from the list and will add some that could get an entry . It looks ridiculous at the moment but give it time and it will look better , I hope . Once thinned out I will check them manually .

* G1 winners , I need to check them .
The list looks odd because of the different wfa scale in use . Main difference being that the 3 y o fillies are allowed 4lb instead of 3lb . Any changes would only shore up the position of Camille Pissarro . If he is confirmed as a runner he should be on every punter's shortlist . A dual Gp1 winner that had the winners of three subsequent Gp1s behind him in one of his victories . Not forgetting a good third , from a bad draw , in another Gp1 and a fine run in The Eclipse . Two wins from three trips to France , he has Autumn form and showed improved form last back end . That does not mean that he will improve this Autumn but we can rest assured that he is not likely to go backwards . He is too high to improve more than a pound or two .My rating for him is possibly too high but his run last time out persuaded me to stick with it for he was running on ground that might have been too fast for him and he was favouring his near fore during the last furlong .
On the debit side he has still to prove that he gets 12f . And if he does not turn up here he will be of interest wherever he runs .
Aloha Alii won easily and two lines from the race suggest that his high rating is justified .
Yesterday's run from Los Angeles was good too since his trainer told everybody that the horse was going to run off of his bed .
The B & H form is messy but it would be mean not to put Ombudsman up 2lb .
The figure for Tornado Alert looks OK since Quest Forr Moon and Grand Stars help his case and a couple of others have done no harm to it .
Kalpana was not fully fit at Kempton but , not for the first time , she looked as if she does not like to be in front .
The first and obvious lay is Minnie Hauk . She should be 14/1 at least .Aventure is too short as well .
Los Angeles is too big at 40/1 .
Hotazhell will not run here but he ran to his best figure at Leopardstown and , considering that it was not his ground , a race could come his way . The same applies to White Birch . Of the first 4 in the Irish Champion only Anmaat ran below personal best . Shin Emperor was not disgraced having his first run for 5 months .
Al Riffa is not coming here but he should . He is entered , in the form of his life , has form from 7f to 14f , goes on any ground and , on paper , the race looks wide open . He has won THREE G1 events and has finished close up behind Ace Impact and City of Troy . If he was yours , would you run him ? Of course you would .
Down to 18 and nearly all of them could be given a chance .
N B Aventure is 1lb worse off with both Sosie and Los Angeles compared to last years running .
Alohi Alii form has taken a knock from Dumonet .
The latest meteo for Paris suggests evens rain most of Friday and 4/6 about the same for Saturday .

Not all of these have an entry .
Provisionals are included . The figure for Daytona could get help tomorrow . I wait with bated breath .
That bubble went pop within minutes but Daytona never looked happy at Deauville .
The Solario result appears to shore up the ratings of Zavateri and Morris Dancer . North Coast is still problematic .
