Formscan By Tom Weekes - DARK OAK showed useful form on the Flat last year, is helped by having recent hurdles form and is also suited by easy ground conditions. Generally consistent, she ran well on her jumps debut at Limerick last Christmas, with that race’s runner-up subsequently boosting the form by scoring at Grade 3 level. She again ran well at that same course last month and can now put her experience to good use. Bumper winner Eternal Echo was himself placed at Limerick last March and while admittedly that was at Listed level, makes his jumps debut here. Jacko Star is open to plenty progression following a useful debut run.
