Formscan By Michael Graham - NAKASSAMA just failed by a head after a sustained duel with the winner in Ayr and could go one better. Jockey Oran McGill was on board then and definitely gets a tune out of Nakassama as last summer the pair won over flights in Hexham and were second in a qualified riders' maiden on the Flat in Galway. Western Model will enjoy this ground and would have to be given claims on some of his chase form last year. Hakensack unseated four out when leading in Limerick and is interesting at the lower end of the weights. Forever And A Day can go well on handicap debut as her runner-up berth in a Down Royal maiden hurdle has been franked.
