Verdict
JUNGLE INTHEBUNGLE was competing in Pattern company last year and takes a further drop in class having failed to figure in a couple of handicaps so far this year. Mick Channon’s charge should still have the measure of these, despite carrying top weight. Altar Boy has a shout on these terms having placed on the all-weather earlier and looks a bigger threat than Superstition, who gets a change of headgear as she steps up in trip, but the remainder are hard to recommend.
