FormscanBy Michael Graham - DARK NOTE could snap a frustrating sequence of three runner-up spots in a row. His second place in a much-higher grade at Killarney in July has been franked by the winner, and slower ground holds no fears for him. He knows where the winning post is with five successes across all codes. Migdam was a comfortable winner of a Tramore maiden hurdle last month and ought to be a factor off a mark of 65 on the level. Ehteyat kept on for third over an extended 1m6f in Killarney and is one for the shortlist over this trip, while No Big Deal and Make Good are others pitching for a cheque.
