In depth
Verdict
Ygritte made a moderate debut at Wetherby but came in from strong support at Fakenham where she found two too good. Runner-up that day was CITIZEN JANE on her racecourse debut and she has the scope to go on to better things. Jaminska made a bold attempt to lead all in a Huntingdon bumper and Imperial Jade was always up with the pace in a similar race at Doncaster. Both Jina and Georgi Girl are from strong jumping families and the market should reflective their chances.
