THE INJURED JOCKEYS FUND APPRENTICE HANDICAP STAKES (CLASS 6)

City Selections

BUNGLE BAY earned a narrow Wolverhampton success two weeks ago and he does not look overburdened by a subsequent 3lb rise in the handicap. Joe Leavy gave the four-year-old a positive ride from the front that day and, berthed to attack in stall one here, he could repeat the dose. A winner in classified company last time, Kodi Dancer merits respect, while others to note include Jumira Bridge and handicap-debutant Dunmore East.

BUNGLE BAY got back to winning ways at Wolverhampton last time and with that form having been franked he is taken to defy a 3lb rise in the weights at the chief expense of C&D scorer Jumira Bridge, who didn’t enjoy the rub of the green when sixth at the same track on his most recent start. Viewfromthestars is another who can go well in his bid for a first victory.
