Verdict

DAISY'S GIFT has fallen twice in five starts over fences and finished a long way last in another. She scored over the minimum at Wexford in November but looked as though this sort of trip would suit when runner-up to Westerner Lady over 2m4f here last time. Girly Girl attempted to make all over 2m5f at Fairyhouse and jumped reasonably well so it was a surprise when she fell at the last having just been joined. She should stay the extra and, providing the mishap hasn't left its mark, will take some catching. Misty Lady was well beaten in that latter event though can do better but Presenting Mahler has never been this far and needs to find much more.
