Verdict
A tricky handicap to solve but Duaiseoir should give supporters a good run as he ran well enough behind Take It Easee on his comeback at Leopardstown, his first start since scoring at Dundalk in November. SALGREV couldn't quite get to grips with Little Arrows or her stablemate Slapper on her return to action here but the runner-up has won since and the form looks reliable. Daisy Buchanan didn't run as a juvenile but made a winning handicap debut on her final start of her first campaign at Navan and should be capable of more progress. Aoibhinn has shown plenty of ability and could prove best of the remainder.
