Jungle Monarch (6/5), Kinnalargy (3/1), O Fortuna (7/1), Great Profit (15/2), Wonderful Friend (10/1), Alkuwarrior (12/1), Powernap (40/1)

JUNGLE MONARCH was a rare disappointment for Karl Burke when backed on debut at Wolverhampton but he probably did too much too soon and is worth another chance in this very winnable novice. Kinnalargy and Great Profit are also expensive once-raced colts from top Northern yards who could do a lot better. Penalised winner Alkuwarrior drops back in class but is almost certainly vulnerable.
