THE JUNGLE VIP has failed to show any progress since going close on his racecourse debut in November but won’t get many better opportunities on these terms. The three-year-old is getting plenty of weight from the older horses including Carvelas, who debuts for new connections having won a claimer at Dundalk recently. Topamichi continues to struggle though is weighted to beat most of the remainder while Lenin may do better dropping back down in distance.
