FormscanBy Dan McEvoy - It is difficult to form a compelling case for any of these, and so a chance is taken on Akashaa (10). She was subject to market support on her latest outing, where she attempted to make all but was headed in the closing stages. Still relatively unexposed, she has her usual tongue-tie reapplied and may be feasibly treated if returning to the level of her third run last year. Famous Enough finished second last time but has since been dropped 5lb, and Sadbh Tormey's claim strengthens her chances. Mehmar has operated at a higher level in the past and ran creditably behind a well-handicapped rival at Leopardstown. He has also been dropped two pounds, so he holds solid place prospects.
