Forecasts

Bungle Inthejungle has had a number of winners already from his first crop to race and AKELA MOON can add to those by making a winning debut in this two-year-old event. The selection is bred to be a sprinter and she can get the better of her rivals here with Luchador, third at Yarmouth last time out taken to claim second on this occasion. Red Hut Red had excuses when well held on debut and she can take third.
