Forecasts

Papal Lodge (13/8), Kendancer (7/4), Knot On Time (16/5), Siberian Star (14/1), Lowtown Boy (16/1), Call The Tune (18/1), Wigglesworth (40/1), Don't Bet On It (40/1), My Wings (100/1)

Verdict

KENDANCER has twice shaped well over hurdles this summer despite not jumping too great and provided he sharpens up in that department a bold show looks likely here. Knot on Time and Papal Lodge are others expected to feature.

  2. KNOT ON TIME (IRE)
  3. PAPAL LODGE (IRE)
