French too good to lose
Toulouse have a rich Heineken Cup pedigree and should again prove serious challengers after being handed a pretty straightforward task in Pool 5.
Bath are a team we like but whether they are quite up to this level is still to be seen, while the Dragons are difficult opponents on home soil but not good enough all-round.
Glasgow could upset one or two teams at Firhill Arena but that's about it.
Blues look value bet
Cardiff have continuously improved under David Young and could be worth a value bet to upset Gloucester in Pool 6 of this season's Heineken Cup.
The cherry and whites have developed a reputation as big-game chokers and look a little disjointed in key areas.
Biarritz have gone backwards since finishing as runners-up in 2006 and if the Blues can keep their discipline on the road, they can prevail here.
