Jm Jungle²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-1| J: Jason Hart| T: J & S Quinn| OR: 112| BF| CD

10/1

Most likeable and reliable sprinter who has thrived this year and arrives on the back of a career-best victory in King George Stakes at Goodwood 21 days ago by neck from She's Quality. This speedy C&D winner is a player once more.

Kerdos²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-1| J: Rossa Ryan| T: C G Cox| OR: 106| D

40/1

Smart at his best and landed the Temple Stakes at Haydock in 2024. Yet to score this term though and tried in cheekpieces when only eighth to Jm Jungle in King George Stakes at Goodwood last time. Others appeal more.

Form: 46-7558

Manaccan^t¹³

Age: 6| Weight: 10-1| J: C Lee| T: J Ryan| OR: 99| D

100/1

A smart 5f winner in 2022 but very lightly raced since. Not disgraced back in handicap company when fourth of ten at Ascot (5f) 13 days ago and no forlorn hope if he can build on that now.

Form: 113/004

Night Raider²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-1| J: D Tudhope| T: K R Burke| OR: 105

15/2

Ended 2024 with 6f Newcastle listed success and he shaped encouragingly when 1¾ lengths sixth of 12 to Jm Jungle in King George Stakes at Goodwood 21 days ago, first home in near-side group. Considered.

Form: 11-3006

Rumstar³⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 10-1| J: Rob Hornby| T: J G Portman| OR: 113| BF| D

11/1

Smart gelding bagged Sprint Stakes at Sandown in July but he came in only fifth of 8 to Arizona Blaze in Sapphire Stakes at the Curragh (5f, good to soft) 34 days ago. Needs to get back on track.

Form: 1-16015

Spartan Arrow^p²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-1| J: Hollie Doyle| T: A Watson| OR: 106| D

66/1

Smart gelding who garnered a third win of 2025 in listed event at Chantilly in June. Below-par ninth of 12 to Jm Jungle in King George Stakes at Goodwood last time though so needs to bounce back.

Form: 410219

Washington Heights⁴¹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-1| J: T Eaves| T: K A Ryan| OR: 107| CD

18/1

Smart and reliable gelding who resumed winning ways in 8-runner listed race over C&D last month by ¾ length from Miss Attitude. Recorded a solid sixth in this in 2024 so possibilities.

Form: 7-24371

(3)

Ain't Nobody^p1¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-13| J: K Stott| T: K A Ryan| OR: 99| D

100/1

Landed Listed Windsor Castle at 2024 Royal Ascot and largely running with credit without winning this term, a close sixth in listed race at Chester 19 days ago. This demands plenty more in first-time cheekpieces, however.

Form: 6-35906

(9)

Arizona Blaze³⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-13| J: D Egan| T: A Murray| OR: 113| D

9/2

Irish colt is proving better than ever this season and followed an excellent second in Commonwealth Cup at Royal Ascot (6f) with cosy success in 8-runner Sapphire Stakes at the Curragh (5f, good to soft) last month. Well in the mix.

Form: 131621

Asfoora^b²¹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-12| J: Oisin Murphy| T: Henry Dwyer| OR: 114| D

11/1

Multiple Group-race winner in Australia and also landed King Charles III at Royal Ascot in 2024. Yet to hit top form this term though she faded only late when seventh of 12 to Jm Jungle in King George Stakes at Goodwood last time. Fourth in this 12 months ago so remains one to be interested in.

Form: 24-1757

(6)

Frost At Dawn^v²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-12| J: M Barzalona| T: W J Knight| OR: 109| D

10/1

Smart filly bagged listed contest at Haydock in May. Not disgraced when 1¾ lengths fourth of 12 to Jm Jungle in King George Stakes at Goodwood 21 days ago. Can't be dismissed.

Form: 722124

Mgheera³⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-12| J: W Buick| T: E Walker| OR: 108| D

16/1

Smart mare bagged Haydock's Temple Stakes in May and backed it up with a solid second of 8 to Arizona Blaze in Sapphire Stakes at the Curragh (5f, good to soft) 34 days ago. Shortlisted.

Form: 506-112

(11)

She's Quality^b²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-12| J: James Ryan| T: J Davison| OR: 108| D

11/1

A three-time 5f winner in 2024 and she has advanced her form this term despite finding just one too good on all her four runs, beaten a neck by Jm Jungle in King George Stakes at Goodwood latest occasion. Another bold showing is on the cards in a change of headgear.

Form: 10-2222

(16)

Celandine¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-10| J: Tom Marquand| T: E Walker| OR: 105| BF| C

33/1

Bagged the Group 2 Lowther here at 2yrs and she comes here on the back of a good nose second of 9 to Roman Dragon in listed race at Chester (6.1f, firm) 19 days ago. Faces an uphill task here though.

Form: 3415-32

(2)

Sayidah Dariyan⁴²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-10| J: R L Moore| T: R Hughes| OR: 110| C

8/1

Progressive filly who got back to winning ways in 11-runner Summer Stakes here (6f, good to firm) last month by 1½ lengths from Nighteyes. Well on top at the finish there so can't be ruled out back at 5f with Ryan Moore up.

Form: 16-1341

(4)

Lady Iman²³

Age: 2| Weight: 8-2| J: J Fanning| T: G M Lyons| OR: 106| D

11/2

Upwardly-mobile daughter of Starman who was suited by the return to 5f when readily making it 4-5 in 8-runner Molecomb Stakes at Goodwood last time. This demands more but this speedy juvenile shouldn't be taken lightly.

Form: 11121

(10)

Spicy Marg²³

Age: 2| Weight: 8-2| J: Harry Bentley| T: M L W Bell| OR: 94| D

18/1

Useful juvenile who got back to winning ways in 11-runner conditions event at Goodwood (5f, good to firm) 23 days ago. Needs a clear personal best here though.

Form: 1051

Forecasts

Arizona Blaze (9/2), Lady Iman (11/2), Night Raider (15/2), Sayidah Dariyan (8/1), Frost At Dawn (10/1), Jm Jungle (10/1), Asfoora (11/1), Rumstar (11/1), She's Quality (11/1), Mgheera (16/1), Washington Heights (18/1), Spicy Marg (18/1), Celandine (33/1), Kerdos (40/1), Spartan Arrow (66/1), Ain't Nobody (100/1), Manaccan (100/1)

A wide open Nunthorpe but it could pay to side with the thriving JM JUNGLE who has a good record on this speed-favouring track and can gain his most valuable prize yet having bagged the Group 2 King George at Goodwood last time. Ger Lyons' improving juvenile Lady Iman has yet to be beaten over the minimum trip and could emerge as the chief threat, although a whole host of others hold solid claims, amongst them Irish pair Arizona Blaze and She's Quality and multiple Australian scorer Asfoora.
