Verdict
Winning point-to-pointer Cyprian Prince has disappointed under Rules so far though his one decent effort came when stepped up to this trip. She's A Gangster has shown potential in bumpers and is a sister to a winning point-to-pointer so jumping will be her game. ONE COOL PRINCESS won a point-to-point and a bumper before finishing lame on her hurdling debut here in May. She was having her first subsequent run when showing up well for a long way at Limerick a couple of weeks ago and with that under her belt is taken to resume winning ways. Lough Lass was probably feeling the effects of the exertions from her previous run when tailed off at Punchestown and is expected to do better.
