Jm Jungle

“Sometimes certain races in the sprint division can be winnable and this looked one. When the rain came yesterday it looked like it might inconvenience some, whereas JM Jungle always turns up. If you don't put your hat in the ring, you've no chance, so we said we'd give it a go. He's much stronger this year and looked so calm before the race that I knew he was going to run his race again. They went lickety-split and Jm Jungle loves that. Earlier in the season Jason Hart said the race he'd love to ride him in was the Nunthorpe, simply because of how fast they go and how much he likes York. It looks the natural next step because he's a Group 2 winner now and you want to be going up from there. We put him in the Abbaye earlier this week and that's a similar race. If you get a good draw up against the rail, with his speed he'd be in the van early doors - Sean Quinn, joint-trainer.”

“JM Jungle deserved that and he's won a load of consistent races and the handicapper has never missed him for being placed, so it's great he's got his day. I rode him in the three-year-old Dash here a couple of years ago and I got stuck behind a wall of horses and I was never able to get into a rhythm that day. He never handled the track that day but today I was out on a wing and able to keep momentum rolling forward and I think that has helped - Jason Hart, jockey.”

“When the draw came out and the ground was dry we were delighted. This was the plan all along, but Jm Jungle will roll away in all the big five-furlong handicap sprints for the rest of the year - John Quinn, joint-trainer.”

“JM Jungle is in very good form, and up to Haydock he had been running really well and just got touched off at York and Hamilton. Then he won nicely at Haydock. He's got a lot of speed from the gate, so we felt that this track would suit him - John Quinn, trainer.”

“JM Jungle has been running consistently and I thought he was unlucky to bump into a well-handicapped horse last time. He went to bite the second horse and I had to drag him back off, but he's done it well in the end - Jason Hart, jockey.”
