Forecasts

Jeff Kidder (6/5), Dollar Value (7/2), Kalanoura (9/1), Clifftop (10/1), Belgoprince (16/1), Metal Man (18/1), Clondaw Hollow (20/1), Trump Card (22/1), Hidden Land (25/1), Lighthouse Lady (25/1), Sharjah (28/1), Molly Kaye (50/1), The Abbey (50/1), Rip Wendy (150/1)

JEFF KIDDER failed to justify short-price favouritism at Killarney in July but it's hard to imagine that this mark isn't well within his capabilities given the ability he has displayed over hurdles. Lighthouse Lady and Dollar Value look the main threats.
