Jungle Ruler⁸⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-11| J: Jason Watson| T: M Appleby

4/5

€75,000 foal, Lucky Vega gelding. Dam, 10.5f winner who stayed 13f, half-sister to smart winner up to 11f (stayed 13f) Bellezza. 20/1, won 14-runner maiden at Dundalk (7f) on debut 85 days ago, readily. First run for yard after leaving Joseph Patrick O'Brien. Enters calculations.

Form: 1-

Alvin²²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Callum Shepherd| T: George Scott

9/1

Some encouragement at Newmarket on debut in May, but then raced too freely when last of 6 in novice at Goodwood (6f, good, 4/1) later same month. Could yet do better as he makes AW debut after 7 months off.

Form: 56-

(3)

Fickle Mcselfish¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: D Nolan| T: T Coyle & K Wood

200/1

Twice-raced maiden. 40/1, ninth of 13 in maiden at Newcastle (6f) 15 days ago. Very hard to make a case for.

Form: 99-

Foxtrot Flyer⁹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Shane Gray| T: K R Burke

9/2

170,000 gns Sergei Prokofiev colt. Half-brother to 3 winners, including useful 5f winner Great State and 5f winner Cherry Cobbler. 11/4, third of 4 in novice at Newcastle (6f) on debut. Off 97 days/gelded. May well do better.

Form: 3-

Leonetto³⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Callum Rodriguez| T: Harry Charlton| BF

14/1

Frankel colt who had underfoot conditions as a plausible excuse when down the field on debut at Doncaster (6f) and despite being keen, he showed improved form switched to AW when second of 4 in novice at Newcastle (6f) 37 days ago. Likely he can do better again.

Form: 72-

Southern Warrior¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Liam Wright⁽⁵⁾| T: George Scott

13/2

38,000 gns yearling, Cotai Glory colt. Dam, 6f-1m winner, half-sister to useful winner up to 6f Newsletter. Third of 8 in novice at this course (5f, 15/2) on debut 15 days ago, not knocked about. Up in trip. Should have more to offer.

Form: 3-

Queen Of The Night¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Edward Greatrex| T: Ollie Sangster

100/1

1,800 gns yearling, €75,000 2-y-o, Code of Honor filly. Half-sister to winner in US by Connect. Hooded, seventh of 8 in novice at Kempton (7f, 20/1) on debut 17 days ago.

Form: 7-

(6)

Remi Mae¹²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: P J McDonald| T: A M Balding

6/1

Much better effort when second of 7 in novice at Haydock (6f, good to firm, 5/1), running on. Off 120 days. Has good chance on form.

Form: 72-

Forecasts

Jungle Ruler (4/5), Foxtrot Flyer (9/2), Remi Mae (6/1), Southern Warrior (13/2), Alvin (9/1), Leonetto (14/1), Queen Of The Night (100/1), Fickle Mcselfish (200/1)

JUNGLE RULER looked a useful prospect when making a winning debut at Dundalk for Joseph O'Brien and may prove good enough to defy a penalty for new connections. Remi Mae left her debut well behind when second at Haydock and is feared most ahead of Leonetto, who should do better again.
