JUNGLE PROSE, who completed a handicap four-timer last autumn, made a promising start over fences at Kilbeggan but jumped very poorly at Galway and connections must have decided she won't make a chaser. She's ahead of these on official ratings though three-times winner Wajaaha comes out equal with his rider's claim taken into account. Recent Wexford winner Starman will also be receiving lumps of weight but Clondow Hollow has been chasing and, though a dual winner over hurdles, has plenty to do at the weights.
