Forecasts

Angel Shared (1/1), Milliethemollie (2/1), Jungle Jim (3/1), Better (3/1), Fidelius (4/1)

JUNGLE JIM is expected to step up markedly on his reappearance effort now fitted with headgear and the handicapper has given him a major chance back on turf. Angel Shared ended 2023 on the up and is the obvious threat.
