Formscan By Tom Weekes - AKKADIAN EMPEROR concedes plenty weight but met interference here on debut and could be capable. Out of an unraced half-sister to three stakes performers, he was only 4/1 on debut and was staying on from off the pace until hampered in the final furlong. The fourth-placed horse won well subsequently and the selection should improve. Mary The Priest beat Port Louis by a half-length at the Curragh on May 1 and both have won subsequently, are dependable and ground-versatile - although Port Louis is now 4lb better off. Sea Singer finished nicely on debut and can progress while Hispanolita was green on debut and is also open to progression under a light weight. Lightly weighted Sli Na Ghealai's unraced dam is a sister to Irish Derby winner Soldier Of Fortune. Declan McDonogh does a light weight on Basilah Bear, a half-sister to two Italian winners while better-bred stablemate Alpha Cephei is a half-brother to Group 3 and Listed winners but is apparent second-string. Dramatic Entrance's dam is a half-sister to the dam of 2,000 Guineas winner Night Of Thunder but failed to sell at 45,000gns at an April breeze-up sale. Cloud Seeker's half-brother was a juvenile winner.
