CALEDONIA PRINCESS showed the first sign this season that she could add to last year's three wins when runner-up at Folkestone recently. Jo Hughes' mare is fancied to go one better in this company. Bobby's Doll continues to improve though both wins have come at Brighton, while Bouncy Bouncy and Imaginary Diva are recent C&D winners but both are 5lb higher today. Simple Rhythm, who was outpaced over this trip at Brighton on Friday, seems better over further nowadays and the remaining pair are hard to fancy.
