Ask me in October and I'd have said you were mad to even think it.

But then - again - a visitor ran second in the Cup.

Yes, in 2008 there was an eyelash in it.

This year, not much more.

And one ran third.

At the end of two miles of slog.

On their merits.

I like to think that if I am wrong in my attutude to something I might bet on, I can change my view.

I wasn't wrong in the 80's.

Or the 90's.

Or until the last few years...

But now, things have changed.

Those visiting trainers have learnt a thing or three.

Put me down as a convert.

Hang me from a high tree if I write them off in 2010!
