Wunder Strike and Ymir are entitled to go close but it may prove worth taking a chance with LAW OF THE JUNGLE. The selection has a high draw to overcome and is also making her debut on an artificial surface and has yet to trouble the judge. None of that is particularly compelling but she has joined a shrewd yard that may be able to get some improvement out of her whilst Tom Dascombe's current form and strike rate at this track are other positives. Wunder Strike has been handed a 4lb rise for getting the better of Ymir by half a length and, whilst the runner-up went up by 3lbs, he has his work cut out after Ymir's connections have opted to claim 5lbs from their charge. French Art finished in front of Ymir at Kempton so has to enter calculations along with Ede's Dot Com but the speculative suggestion is Law Of The Jungle.
