Forecasts

Jeff Kidder (5/1), Camorra (11/2), Son Of Hypnos (6/1), Yulong Pearlisland (6/1), Sage Advice (13/2), Knight Of Malta (15/2), Shake A Leg (17/2), Vischio (12/1), Up With The Play (16/1), Ivy Avenue (18/1), Toora Loora (20/1), Khairy (22/1), Mere Catherine (25/1), Loved Out (28/1), Illusory (33/1), Lizzies Song (33/1), Miss Oria (40/1), Cardinal Rule (50/1)

JEFF KIDDER scored on his last Flat outing and has shaped well over hurdles subsequently, so he makes most appeal in a wide-open handicap. Son of Hypnos and Sage Advice both arrive on the up, so they look the main dangers in a race where plenty can have a case made for them.
