Verdict
Dark Note is penalised for a victory on the Flat but he's run well enough over timber to suggest he'll be difficult to beat in this grade. However, SHAJAK, another winner on the level, is much higher rated and will have come on for his opening run at Killarney in May so gets the nod. Suile Ban, a half-brother to five winners, is an interesting newcomer while Rene Artois was engaged in the 4.55 at Bellewstown yesterday.
