Formscan By Mark Nunan - This looks to rest between the two Flat winners, Dark Note and Shajak. The former won a Ballinrobe claimer for Joseph O'Brien last summer and was runner-up in a Bellewstown handicap off 72 for present connections. Gradually progressive in four starts over hurdles, his Wexford second was a decent effort with the winner having shown up well in a couple of strong winter maidens. SHAJAK though, is rated the best part of 20lb better on the level and was a useful middle-distance performer for Johnny Murtagh last term. He beat smart hurdler My Mate Mozzie in a Tipperary maiden and was third in a Listed race at Leopardstown. Fifth on hurdles debut at Killarney, Jack Kennedy's mount should have learned enough from that to score here. Say It So, not beaten that far on hurdling debut at Roscommon, has a chance of minor honours.%0A
