Verdict
A very interesting mares’ bumper to end proceedings. Newcomer Legends Ryde has a cracking pedigree for jumping and should be worth following, however she fares today. Miss Gemstone is a likely improver and Seaton Carew will strip fitter today. Frau Georgia found only one too good at Warwick while Escort'namix was a shade keen at Plumpton. Zoutoise ran green but she was a decisive winner over 1m4f here on debut when ahead of Puppetonastring. AGENT VALDEZ started favourite for a point won by Escort'namix at Dromahane last April but made no mistake next time. Sold for £20,000 after, she’s joined a yard who has excelled with similar types in the past.
