Verdict

Beau Phil clearly isn't one of his powerful yard's leading lights but he'll be popular in what looks a particularly weak bumper after a couple of placed efforts. Anti Cool has won a point-to-point but that form is nothing special and he hasn't raced in almost a year. False Accusation was soon tailed off on debut so Peter Bowen could have found PRINCESS ROANIA a good opportunity to make a winning start. She's by Dubai Destination, so shouldn't lack pace, and her dam won a bumper in Ireland and went on to score over hurdles
