FormscanBy John O'Riordan - Point-to-point winner PALLAS ATHENE looks the percentage call, especially now that she is stepped up in trip. The Gordon Elliott-trained mare has been running consistently in maidens all year but appears to lack the gears when the race develops in earnest. Faced with an additional two furlongs now, she may just grind it out from the front. Grandpa Ger ran better than his final placing suggests when fifth at Punchestown last month. The six-year-old was making ground from the rear when getting the second last hurdle all wrong. To his credit, the Tony Mullins-trained gelding stayed on well after the last. Mystic Sage looks a mare that could improve further now faced with more of a stamina test.
