Forecasts

Joyeux Machin (11/10), Jungle Prose (11/8), Dovlator (5/1), Ripplesinthesand (33/1), Dragon Rock (40/1)

JUNGLE PROSE developed into a useful hurdler for Gordon Elliott last winter and this looks a good chance for him to land a fifth win since joining the yard. Joyeux Machin is the obvious danger if his stamina holds now stepping up to 3m.
