5/6
Irish point winner who is unbeaten in two starts over hurdles, defying a penalty in determined fashion at Haydock (15.6f) last time, and it's doubtful we've seen the best of him yet.

9/4
Bumper winner who shaped well when a fast-finishing second at Lingfield on hurdles debut in November. Turned over at short odds at Wincanton since but remains capable of better. Tongue tie on.

Fair form when placed all 3 starts in bumpers (trained by Willie Mullins for first 2) but has run below that level both starts over hurdles. Perhaps more one for handicaps after this.

7/2
Fairly useful form when second in Auteuil juvenile hurdle for Francois Nicolle in June. Better than he's shown when fifth in a pair of novices in Britain and this drop back in trip looks a plus.

Placed on sole outing in points and shaped like a stayer in a Sedgefield bumper, but lost touch early when pulled up on hurdles debut at Kelso last time.

Fared better than previously when third in a 2m Worcester bumper in June, though very much had the run of things and wouldn't be sure to repeat that form now tried hurdling after 7 months off.

Looks to be being brought along gradually for this yard, still in need of the experience when seventh of 14 in maiden hurdle at Taunton (19f, good to soft) 20 days ago.

Modest in bumpers and ran to a similar level sent hurdling when third at Hexham in December. Disappointed at Catterick later that month, though.

Forecasts

Jungle Jack (5/6), Duke Of Rockingham (9/4), Monte Igueldo (7/2), Hara Kiri (16/1), Catch Me Not (66/1), The Questioner (66/1), Tika Moon (66/1), Fist Pumping Time (80/1)

Verdict

It was hard not to be impressed by the way JUNGLE JACK knuckled down for pressure to defy a penalty in tough conditions at Haydock in December, so with better still to come, he's taken to maintain his unbeaten record. Duke of Rockingham was turned over at short odds at Wincanton last time, but remains capable of better, while Monte Igueldo could also have a say dropping back in trip after a break.
