Jm Jungle is set to tackle the Group 1 Coolmore Wootton Bassett Nunthorpe Stakes at York on August 22.

Overview

  • Jm Jungle, a five-year-old gelding bred by Lodge Park Stud and trained by John and Sean Quinn, went off at 14-1 in the five-furlong Group 2 contest at Goodwood.
  • Ridden by Jason Hart, he stormed home to win by a neck over She’s Quality, with Commonwealth Cup winner Time For Sandals finishing third.
  • The victory represents Jm Jungle’s first black-type success in 37 career starts, highlighting his late-career progression.
