FormscanBy Gary Carson - DARK NOTE may be able to strike now dropping back to a mile. The Night Of Thunder colt folded late on over ten furlongs at Sligo last time in a competitive handicap. The winner Sally Golightly has followed up again since while he had a few in behind that brought strong form to the race. Atlas ran well over course and distance here last time and has recorded three of his four career victories at the track. The veteran could be a danger now. Almost An Angel was consistent in England and is an interesting contender on his first outing for John Larkin. He is tried in cheek-pieces on his Irish debut.
An extended handicap for three years old and upwards rated 50-80Penalties - (after calculation of the handicap) A winner shall carry 7lb extra for each race won.
