To overtake RDIII it will probably require most of us to hit two winners tomorrow, though NoRiverRequired could do it with one. Plus the leading man will probably hit another bullseye or two to match today's sterling performance!
Will be fun, the last will surely have a load of unloved donkeys that the rest of us will back, it's always a sweat.

There are days that live long in the memory - Frankel winning the 2,000 Guineas, Dawn Run winning the Gold Cup, Arazi in the Breeders Cup - and today we can add another performance of stunning class to the storied history of the turf. Raoul Duke III bided his time out the back of the field for the first two circuits, allowing lesser types a brief moment in the spotlight before he engaged fifth gear early in the straight today and blew away his rivals with a display of speed and stamina that few could ever dream of matching.
He's now 20 lengths to the good and his rider is sitting up in the irons, blowing kisses to the crowd and milking the well-deserved applause while his owner plots a lucrative stud career, with the pick of the finest mares awaiting his services.
Surely tomorrow will be no more than a mere formality before he collects the prize. He looks in peak condition and I wouldn't be surprised if he breaks the track record again.
The only slight blot on the horizon is the incessant rain which might level out the vast gulf in class between him and the collection of donkeys that toil in his wake.
His rivals look gassed, I hear rumours of potential nobblers however lurking around the stables so in truth that is the only thing standing between him and triumph. GAB's connections look suitably humbled after their intemperate braggadocio in the BBV today while early pacesetter rounders has slipped back in the field and appears unable to cope with the underfoot conditions. If there is to be a danger, it could come from the shrewd yard of NoRiverRequired, who laid their animal out for this event and made some impressive gains today. Eoghan104 too has shown he is capable of the odd fluke result.
But the mood from the Duke camp is one of supreme confidence, they know they have stones in hand of this lot and will make short work of this motley crew on the morrow.

Hardwick hopes
It would be truly sick if 33/1 shot Communique pops up here with four separate picks. As it stands it would catapult eoghan into the lead with Hitch, Mellor and Shambola in hot pursuit...

Plenty going for the Ballydoyle outsiders here and that would just blow this thing wide open

Ventura Rebel ran a stormer in third there. For the second race in a row however, the collective draws a blank.
No change to the placings:
