Gone in early on Great White Shark at 16-1. Only Willie Mullins entry left in at 5 day stage so I am hoping he is going to run. Low weight, will handle the soft ground and the trip no problem. Ran last year,unseating Will Buick going to post after a relatively busy season and didn`t justify the market support that day.
Hasn`t raced since July and hopefully will arrive fresh and ready to go. Anticipate being able to trade nearer the day and adding maximum place market available.
Also taken 20-1 Author`s Dream and will add maximum place market available.
I think if Great White Shark turns up it will be half that price - think he is declared for the Irish equivalent the next day, I guess that is precautionary.
The same can be said about LEONCAVALLO he is another that really catches the eye.
Finally COEUR DE LION, has showed some decent form winning at Ascot - I think he has a decent each way chance.
Hard race though - but certainly agree with OP about GWS.

Still 16s on 356..think it will be smashed up on the day like last year but think bookies will cut the price after final decs before the money comes. I dont like going in too hard before final decs but it's good that it's his only entry while he has 9 for the irish version the next day. So we can be confident its turning up so I'm going in again on the 16s but no laying off for me

Forecast is slightly better for rest of week , G/S would be a result for Leoncavallo and Great White Shark . Not convinced about the trip for the former , but GWS very well treated vs last year , in good form and just needs to avoid last year's traffic problems .Managed 15s with boost .

I must of been using needles or sniffing glue for a hit but I really like summer moon in the great race here, I know he has top weight and is much higher than last year but we really are getting a good price here and I’ve still got him with plenty in hand..loads of Irish look chucked in but most look useless to me...we will see
The mare has a great chance But does like to get keen with the rider so will be interesting how she runs, she looks like taking the money and was my original pick till the bookmakers took a couple of hundred and cut her to the sp return. Anyway she is chucked in so has her chance
I see a few of the old shrewdies did get the price so I wish you well with the wager

Traded out on Great White Shark, so all green. You know it makes sense. Also backed in the 5 place market.
Allowed some small each ways on Author`s Dream,Smart Champion and Just Hubert. All 7 places, huge drift on most of them suggesting the ground is not going to suit.

Every couple of weeks I have a catch up call with my brother who lives in rural Kent. He enjoys a day at the races and a flutter on the football and horses to very small stakes. Last Sunday I called him and amongst all the chit chat I suggested he might like to have an interest on Great White Shark and the next day he texted me to say he had got an odds boost on Sportsbook and was on on each-way (1/5 odds 5 places) at 18-1.
Yesterday evening he was in his local British Legion Club running the "meat raffle" and suggested to the local throng during the picking of tickets that a bet on Great White Shark may be in order for those who liked a bet.
This evening after the event he rang me from the same British Legion Club to say he had just received a phone call from the local village vicar thanking him, having had a £5 e-w at SP.
Maybe God was on our side.
