Race preview
There looks to be plenty of pace on in this dash. To further muddy the waters, there is little Polytrack experience to consider. MIDNIGHT TOKER is a very consistent performer as evidenced by his string of placed efforts. He has run behind some very useful sorts and can get off the mark in this nursery. Escaping Thejungle kept on strongly to win by more than four lengths over this trip in Bellewstown and the form appears strong as the runner-up won on next start by four lengths. It shows the regard that Escaping Thejungle is held in that she was pitched into Listed company on her second outing (fifth in Naas). Wakai Umi is drawn to attack in gate one. Jamie Powell's 7lb claim puts her on a very handy mark. Lovejoy did well to win on debut at Navan. She is well related and there should be much more to come, particularly when she settles.
