The joint-trainer of Jm Jungle says their stable star is "every bit as good as he was last year" but accepts he will need to be as he bids for back-to-back victories in the King George Qatar Stakes at Glorious Goodwood, with Sean Quinn certain the five-furlong division is stronger this year.
The Group 2 has become a race with special significance for John and Sean Quinn after Highfield Princess, the stable's greatest horse, landed the prize in 2023 before Jm Jungle added his name to the roll of honour two years later.
Highfield Princess, who was described by the stable as "a horse of a lifetime" before her death in 2024, never had the opportunity to defend the race. However, Jm Jungle will attempt to become the first horse since Battaash – who made the race his own for four consecutive years from 2017 to 2020 – to win consecutive runnings of the five-furlong contest.
