WHAT do the recent Galway Hurdle winner Ndaawi (Cracksman) and Jm Jungle (Bungle Inthejungle), successful in the five-furlong Group 2 King George Stakes at Goodwood, have in common? They both trace on the female side of the family to the 1983 two-year-old winner Eljazzi (Artaius).

Jm Jungle was gaining a first stakes win with his victory at Goodwood, his sixth in all, but he earned some prior blacktype when third in a listed race at York. He thus becomes the 13th stakes winner for his sire, who holds court at Maurice Burns’ Rathasker Stud where he stood this year for €7,500. Jm Jungle is inbred 3x3 to Danehill (Danzig), his sire being a son of Exceed And Excel (Danehill), while his stakes-placed dam, The Shrew, is a daughter of Dansili (Danehill).
