There's seemingly little depth to this maiden and it would appear to represent an ideal opportunity for useful Flat performer SHAJAK to build on his quite encouraging opening hurdle run at Killarney in May. Dark Note is the obvious one to follow him home. Newcomer Suile Ban has quite a good pedigree and is one to monitor in the betting.
