Landed a Wexford beginners' chase last summer for Mouse Morris but struggled to back it up. Off the track since disappointing at Punchestown in October, up the three-miles on first start for new yard.

Jumping isn't always to be relied upon, but good run here last month over 2m4f when second to Westerner Point in graded novice chase. Steps up in trip and should mount a bold bid if staying on her feet.

Victory over Retour En France at Sligo in September stands out but hasn't really been able to build on it. Has been given a break before this and perhaps that will spark her into life.

50/1
Ten-time winner in point-to-points but, as yet, failed to score under rules. That record tapers any enthusiasm and was pulled up at Wexford on previous chase start.
Yet to score over fences but was demonstrating a really pleasing attitude from the front last time at Fairyhouse until getting things all wrong and falling at the last. Upped in trip this time, not one to write off.

Without a win in four starts over fences, showing only moderate promise. Was set to finish a fair way behind the re-opposing Girly Girl had that rival stood up at the last over 2m5f at Fairyhouse earlier this month.

Took third in the Fairyhouse race where Girly Girl was a faller, finishing ahead of Misty Lady. Needs a good deal more if going to improve on that placing this afternoon.

Forecasts

Daisy's Gift (1/1), Girly Girl (5/2), Misty Lady (6/1), Twiss's Hill (8/1), Presenting Mahler (16/1), Carrigeen Acebo (50/1), Carole Rose (50/1)

Verdict

Providing she's none the worse for her final fence fall at Fairyhouse, GIRLY GIRL appears to hold solid claims of gaining some compensation. She was showing a terrific attitude under pressure then and looked set to give Retour En France a real fight up the run in. Presenting Mahler beat Retour En France in September but hasn't built on it and so comes here with a bit to prove. Daisy's Gift ran a solid race around here over a shorter trip last month and rates a big player going up in trip bit she's likely to be a short price. Misty Lady and Twiss's Hill need more based on their Fairyhouse efforts while Carole Rose had regressed somewhat before joining this yard and looks best watched on stable bow. 1. Girly Girl 2. Daisy's Gift 3. Presenting Mahler
