Verdict

Imperial Jade is steadily improving and will be hard to keep out of the frame again in this. She finished more than four lengths ahead of Jina when second at Newbury in February. Kooky, a half-brother to two winners, made late headway in a bumper at Huntingdon in January. Pennsylvanie showed promise around the turn of the year at Cagnes when trained by David Cottin but we’ll take a chance on Jamie Snowden’s newcomer PHONE HOME as she’s out of a mare that won a hurdle and a bumper and has produced winning jumpers with her first three offspring to race.
