Jungle Room¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: K Stott| T: K A Ryan| OR: 68

Forecasts

Jungle Room (7/4), Faadhel (11/4), Our Man In Havana (7/1), The British Lion (9/1), Dance Me (10/1), Cloud Eight (14/1), Astraea (16/1), Inviolable Spirit (16/1), Ventura Gold (20/1), Milton Road (20/1), White Feather (28/1), Campion (50/1)

JUNGLE ROOM ran well on his final start in novice contests when third at Chelmsford last time out and with trainer Kevin Ryan boasting a 24% strike-rate (4/17) of late he can make a winning handicap debut today. The selection shapes as if this step up in trip will suit and he can get the better of Faadhel who represents a leading stable today while Cloud Eight, a decent third over this trip last time out can fill the same position today.
