Formscan By Gary Carson - ALMAZANN may be worth another shot here despite a slightly disappointing show in Roscommon last time. He was beaten at a short price then and was reported to have hung in the home straight. The Zarak colt had finished runner-up on his previous three outings and the application of cheekpieces now may get him across the line. Leopold The First has been runner-up on five occasions and looks like the obvious danger. Money for the Ballydoyle newcomer Come What May, a full-brother to ill-fated Derby winner Desert Crown, would obviously be noteworthy.%0A%0A
