Verdict
Willie Mullins appears to have found a nice opportunity for PRINCESS OF CHINA to make a successful debut for the yard after over two years absence. She was purchased for £50,000 after easily landing a point-to-point at Oldtown in February 2017 and this doesn't look the most difficult of starts. Dolly Dancer also makes her hurdling debut after three reasonable runs in bumpers but Cornakill Rose looks as though she needs further and testing conditions. Winning point-to-pointer Gipsy Lee Rose could provide the main threat as she was only beaten half-a-length on her hurdling debut at Clonmel before finding Grade 3 company on heavy ground over 2m6f too much for her on this track last month. Golden Glory and Late Again have had their chances but the four-year-old Kashika made a reasonable debut at Cork and will improve.
