Jm Jungle¹⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-8| J: Ryan Sexton⁽⁵⁾| T: J & S Quinn

3/1

Bungle Inthejungle col who built on debut effort when getting on top late in the day in a Hamilton maiden (5f) in May. Creditable fourth in Beverley conditions' event (5f) since and this step up to 6f worth exploring now.

Form: 314

Rock Opera¹⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-6| J: Barry McHugh| T: R A Fahey

5/2

Unfortunately half-brother to 3 winners, including useful winner up to 7f Broughtons Gold. Confirmed debut promise and deserved effort marked up (badly hampered early) when scoring at Hamilton (5f) 17 days ago and he's likely to progress further.

Form: 41

War Treaty

Age: 2| Weight: 9-4| J: K Stott| T: K A Ryan

6/1

Foaled March 31. War Command colt. Half-brother to 5f winner in US Annie's Song and Swedish 11f winner Hopespringseternal. Good draw to operate from on debut and interesting what the market makes of him.

11/1

Foaled April 23. €58,000 2-y-o, Havana Grey colt. Half-brother to several winners, including useful 1¼m-1½m winner Hyanna and winner up to 9f Rainbow Black. Dam unraced. Another to note in betting for clues.

Sanks A Million¹⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: R Kingscote| T: D Loughnane| BF

2/1

Profitable colt who shaped best of the newcomers when second on debut at Beverley (5f) and again filled runners-up spot behind a promising newcomer at Carlisle (5.8f) 16 days ago. No surprise to see him thereabouts.

Form: 22

Foaled February 12. Heeraat filly. Dam lightly-raced half-sister to useful US winner up to 8.5f (including minor stakes at 2 yrs) Carving. Yard 0-13 with their 2-y-o runners in last 5 seasons.

Sanks A Million (2/1), Rock Opera (5/2), Jm Jungle (3/1), War Treaty (6/1), Metahorse (11/1), Pink Stripes (40/1)

A winner at Hamilton early last month, JM JUNGLE again ran well whilst highlighting he's worthy of a step up to this trip when keeping on for fourth in a Beverley conditions' event 2 weeks ago. With his rider taking off a handy 5 lb, he gets the nod to come out on top, with Rock Opera, who did well to score himself last time, next best, ahead of Sanks A Million.
