I look forward to seeing how Lizards Desire runs. I think he was very useful here in SAf.

Also interesting to see the Dan de Lago form being exposed overseas.

I didn't know de Kock had acquired the professional pacemaker Red Rock Canyon.

Great stuff can`t wait for the carnival,

magic, Mdk will need more than Red Rock Canyon to get the Irish Imports to perform both imo looked of suspect character and will need a bit of the special MDK treatment..

Yes, Red Rock Canyon laboured very hard when he eventually broke his duck in a weak race if I recall, but after so many spins as the Ballydoyle rabbit maybe he just needs to relearn how to race 'on merit?' Pacemakers are very useful, but, let's be honest, they can be construed as non-triers. RRC learned some bad habits that could be ingrained for life!

A full book of runners for MDK.

Any early fancies Clan?

I'm in the Lizards Desire corner, but I think most of the MDK runners will need one run to bring them on.

Looking forward to the races!
