    Well I can see GW shortening if he wins well, would expect that.
    Be nice if they did push a short priced fav out for not running, it all helps!!
    Can see them potentially pushing out a few short priced ones after this weekend..,.......

    Sir Gino, Jonbon, constitution Hill, Lulamba and The New Lion all could be bigger.

      They probably won't move or by as much as they ought to.
      But anyone with any sense will understand that they will come nearer the day, assuming they all turn up, and we we some impressive winners over the weekend.
      One or two could shorten if the Irish look average or nothing stands out.

        If he's impressive at the weekend and the ground is soft at the festival I can definitely see GW going off fav ahead of JB. The Mullins factor, the weight of the Irish money, his demolition job in the Arkle last season and JB's lack of a festival win will all put pressure on the current fav.

        It's whether he can do it this weekend though. For those that haven't backed him it's probably worth the risk doing it after the DRF in the hope he disappoints at Leopardstown once again.

          Would be nice for those not on already to get bigger prices.
          Interesting weekend coming up for sure.

                  Yep apparently folks are having a brainstorming session as we speak to see how they can get Jonbon beat in a walkover. Look forward to seeing the findings. Ideas under consideration are as follows; jockey had an episode and fell off, placing sniper on the grandstand roof, trainer considered the ground too firm and withdrew him before leaving the paddock , act of god including being struck by lightning, alien invasion, stewards disqualified horse for unnecessary use of the whip to gain an advantage, yard put wrong horse on the van meanwhile Jonbon was last seen reading the forum in his stable and collecting all his shit in a bag.

                    The irony of this one being that it's quite literally JBs best chance of winning, irrespective of how good his chance is on good, soft or heavy ground!
