Forecasts

Valley Of Flowers (16/5), Victory March (10/3), Sicario (5/1), Gold Standard (7/1), Blazer Two (15/2), Mummy's Boy (14/1), Reset Button (16/1), International Law (18/1), Ship To Shore (18/1), Be Fair (25/1), Lucky Draw (33/1), Bond Spirit (50/1), Flood Defence (66/1), Emulation (100/1)

VICTORY MARCH got right back on track for Seb Spencer when scoring at Newcastle earlier in the month and is weighted to go close again despite taking a 4 lb rise for that cosy success. Sicario has made a good start with Mick Appleby and is feared most ahead of course winner Gold Standard and in-form Blazer Two.
