Forecasts

Mashadi (9/4), Irish Nectar (10/3), Persian Blue (4/1), Jungle Jim (4/1), Fifty Grand Slater (10/1), Fidelius (10/1), Sea Of Angels (14/1), Starring Role (20/1), Toosha (50/1), Lettuce Leaf (80/1), Ziggy's Missile (80/1), Cowboy Stuff (80/1), Kohana Girl (300/1)

JUNGLE JIM shaped with plenty of promise when runner-up in a reasonable maiden at Thirsk last month and, having been gelded since, further progress looks forthcoming. With Buick taking over, he's marginally preferred to Mashadi, who sets the clear standard but has had 4 goes and has moved yards since failing to land the odds at Brighton. Of the others, Starring Role could be a different proposition this time.
