Forecasts

King Of The Jungle (6/4), Show Me Show Me (9/2), Papa Don't Preach (11/2), The Gay Blade (8/1), Doon The Glen (17/2), Elzaal (12/1), Stone Of Destiny (18/1), Rockley Point (20/1), Hard Nut (25/1)

Verdict

KING OF THE JUNGLE didn't enjoy the rub of the green when runner-up at Southwell last time and is fancied to make amends off an unchanged mark here. Fellow C&D winner Papa Don't Preach rates the main danger, with Show Me Show Me and Doon The Glen also in the mix.

  1. King Of The Jungle6/4
  2. Papa Don't Preach11/2
  3. Show Me Show Me9/2
