PRINCESS ROANIA has looked a tough filly in bumpers under penalties and is unlucky not to have followed up her debut success. She looks the one to beat if proving as effective now her attentions are turned to hurdling in what looks a weak event. Mrs Jordan has far more experience than her rivals and would probably have been the one to beat but for pulling up the last twice. There is no logical explanation for the loss in form and she's best watched until rediscovering her original level. Flower Power displayed promise in bumpers and didn't do too badly on hurdling debut, on the evidence of which she rates the main danger to the selection.
