JUNGLE JACK has dropped back to only 1 lb below the mark he defied at Bangor last spring and might be worth chancing to make a successful return from wind surgery. This is a slight drop in class for Carnfunnock and he's second choice ahead of Cracking Rhapsody, who can turn around last month's C&D form with Ginger Mail on these 4 lb better terms.
