        Verdict

        JAMIH was just behind Prince Achille in a bunch finish here last week but had more ground to make up in the closing stages than his rival. He beat Valley Of Flowers in this last year and again at Beverley last month when Optician was even further behind. Prince Achille was beaten by Bouncing Bobby at Hamilton in June but the latter ran poorly on a return visit to the Scottish track while Riggsby hasn’t been pulling up any trees over hurdles this summer. Edwina Sheeran has been in excellent form, however, and found only one too good off this mark when on a hat-trick at Leicester last time.
