Well, Mr Ed may not be around on the forum at the moment, but I'm still counting his stable runners, just as I am with Paddy. I expect you'll probably say that's not fair, but this comp is all about picking future winners and if Mr Ed can somehow manage to win despite not making any changes at all to his stable over the whole competition, then he really deserves it. Surely you or I or someone else should be able to beat him.
