I’m flip-flopping between Backyard Heaven (can he replicate his last?) and Irish War Cry (which IWC will show up?!?).

Backyard Heaven and Uncle Mojo.
As much as I like Graham Motion, until Irish War Cry proves he can run two good ones back-to-back I will toss him ...

Here's the finish:
Pavel
Honorable Duty
Matrooh
Hawaakom
Finally found out why Irish War Cry is inconsistent...he has the thumps and tonight with the heat Motion was very concerned. TJ
