Verdict
Willie Mullins has won the last two of these and DAISY'S GIFT will make a bold bid to keep up the sequence. She was very good value for her victory at Killarney as she was impeded at a crucial stage. Aunt Alice produced an improved performance to land a decent maiden here a couple of weeks ago and should make further progress but Duckweed appeared to be suited by three miles at the same fixture and may find some of these too quick. Star Counsel looked impressive at Killarney but is another who could do with a stiffer test of stamina while Well Tuned hasn't fulfilled early expectations.
