Verdict

PRINCESS DAY proved useful in bumpers last season and is taken to make a successful start over hurdles in the opener. Divine Diva and Kamille Au Kanada may provide the chief threat in what should prove an informative contest.

4	Successful on sole outing in Irish points and made a pleasing start under Rules when third of 12 in listed bumper at Cheltenham last November.
