Verdict
Jasi made a winning start at Southwell and a penalty is partly reduced by an apprentice’s allowance. But it doesn’t boost confidence that Paul Hanagan has jumped ship and rides stablemate and newcomer VENTURA DRAGON. The latter is a brother to a winner in the US and a half-brother to other winners. Prediction and Admiral Spice are other newcomers to keep an eye on in the betting while Marsh Storm ran well for third at Newcastle on her recent debut and can figure.
