Verdict
A progressive handicapper last year, JUNGLE PROSE has faced tougher assignments lately and Gordon Elliott’s charge comes out best on these terms. Joyeux Machin also had a stiff task at Punchestown last time but has the beating of Dovlator at the weights as the latter has struggled in both starts so far this year. The less-exposed Dragon Rock has switched yards and is preferred to Ripplesinthesand.
