Jm Jungle gains ‘deserved' sprint prize for John and Sean Quinn
Ultra-consistent, he picked up a nice prize at York last summer and had been back in action on the Knavesmire just seven days prior to this when a beaten favourite into third. This time he was always travelling strongly for Jason Hart and while Hollie Doyle had the favoured rail on Spartan Arrow, Jm Jungle (7-1) came down the middle of the track to win by half a length. Quinn said: 'He's been running really well and you don't always get what you deserve in life but he's probably deserved that. 'This year he has run into a couple of well-handicapped horses, but has still done us proud and that was great. 'There's nothing at Royal Ascot for him, but we'll go back to York in three weeks' time and he loves Goodwood, so I imagine we'll go there as well later in the summer.' Hart added: 'He's deserved that, 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. These races are good fun when you win.'
