Forecasts

Haparanda (5/2), Sacred Rhyme (11/4), Merroir (3/1), Great White Shark (7/2), Camphor (15/2), Woodland Garden (11/1), Kirkland Lady (12/1), Dinard Rose (25/1), St Clerans (66/1), Getawiggleon (66/1)

This trip is probably on the sharp side for GREAT WHITE SHARK given she won the Cesarewitch at Newmarket when last seen on the level but her class may still shine through in a race where plenty are up against it chasing black type. Haparanda and Merroir look the chief threats.
