FormscanBy Alan Magee - Ger Lyons won this last year with Masen and he could repeat the trick with another lightly-raced three-year-old in the shape of MARKAZ PANAME who will be well suited by the recent wet spell. The selection is unbeaten in three turf outings including both starts this spring over the trip and has been absent since landing the Group 3 Gladness Stakes at the Curragh with connections indicating at the time that he could have the summer off because of a definite preference for an ease. His high draw hasn’t been a barrier to winning this race in the past. Emporio is another lightly raced sort that made a winning return at Tipperary last month. I’m A Gambler had Rhoscolyn close up in third when scoring over this trip at Goodwood last month, while Current Option won this race back in 2019 and the topweight has proved a great servant to connections since winning the Ahonoora Handicap at Galway three times.
