    Verdict

    Teajaybe may struggle in this but none of the others can be completely ruled out. The Quiet Hawk and White Feathers, a winner at Kilbeggan earlier this month, arguably have a little to find at the weights, however, and Face Value didn't find much off the bridle at Punchestown so we'll concentrate on the top two. DARROUN's defeat of dual Grade 1 winner Hisaabaat at Leopardstown in January is very smart form and, though he's been beaten three times since, a repeat of that run would see him back in the winner's enclosure. Discoteca gained a deserved victory at Cork last month, having also been highly tried, and should be next best.
