Welcometothejungle reverts to novice company having come up short when favourite for a handicap at Newton Abbot earlier this month. Irish raider WHAT A JEWEL (NAP) tackled fences last time but her earlier third at Limerick looks the best piece of form on offer in this and she should get back to winning ways. The other penalised runner, Flower Power has some improving to do but holds Pretty Rose on the form book. Stratford second Jazz Thyme is open to improvement and looks the pick of the remainder.
