Forecasts

Valley Of Flowers (15/8), Spanish Hustle (2/1), Jamil (7/2), Bamboo Bay (10/1), Visitant (11/1), Cedar Rapids (25/1), Gilbert (33/1)

These slower conditions will suit course specialist JAMIL and he is taken to register another victory here. The in-form pair Spanish Hustle and Valley of Flowers look the obvious dangers.
