        Verdict

        PRINCESS ROANIA has yet to win in 16 starts over timber but has been placed nine times including in this grade at Ffos Las three weeks ago when she had Flanagans Field and Hands Of Stone behind. There doesn't appear any particular reason for a form reversal and she can take care of that pair again and gain her first victory in this poor handicap. Be Daring hasn't been running quite as badly as his form figures imply but Big Picture was well beaten on his debut for Johnny Farrelly at Uttoxeter. Blue April isn't the most reliable but would have a chance on his recent run at Plumpton, his first since May.
