	Beaten the '25 BC Classic winner and '25 HOTY in his last two starts

	Will be hard-pressed to beat the best of these going even 9f around two turns

	Maybe, given Magnitude's level, he did run his race in Dubai
4	Sovereignty, by Into Mischief	B. Mott	115
	Can't excuse his Foster; jury out on if he's even as good as last year
5	Baeza, by McKinzie	B. Mott	105

	Bevy of excuses in Manhattan; his Turf Classic still sets division's standard
2	Burnham Square, by Liam's Map	I. Wilkes	106
	Arlington Million, with a cut back to 10f, should show what he's made of
3	Deterministic, by Liam's Map	M. Clement	101
	Need to see one more like his Manhattan to anoint him
4	Formidable Man, by City of Light	M. McCarthy	98

1	Englishman, by Maxfield	C. DeVaux	114
	100 percent believe he's at least as good at 6f as 7f - and can still get better!
2	T O Elvis, by Volatile	D. Takyanagi	108
	Good as he was at CD over 7f, he'd have trouble catching Englishman at 6f
