Beverley 2:15 Result

Jm Jungle carries the highest OR (108) in the field by a clear margin and has been running to a good level recently (form 490357 including a placed run last time). He's a proven sprinter who has won at this sort of level before, has run recently (9 days ago) showing he's fit and in form, and the blinkers appear to be sharpening him up. Heavy ground at Beverley over 5f is a genuine test, and his sire Bungle Inthejungle throws proven fast-ground and soft-ground sprinters. The other high-class type, Al Shabab Storm, has a big weight of ability (comeback form 43-001) but hasn't run for 65 days, which is a concern fresh on testing ground, and his best form has come on quicker surfaces. Washington Heights is consistent but capped in ability at this level (OR 104) and his profile suggests he's more of a placed horse than a winner in this grade. Badri is respectable but the age (9) and lower rating (99) make him vulnerable to the class rise. Jm Jungle's rating edge, recent competitive placing, and market support (as a likely favourite or close to it) make him the most solid win case, with the blinkers a positive angle for a stable that clearly means business fitting them.
