Forecasts

Sommesky (5/6), Custom Taylor (15/8), Ellis Mor (10/1), Mi Lucky Cailin (11/1), Prophet's Corner (22/1), Committee Meeting (22/1), Happy Me (28/1), Ballinoe Blaze (33/1), Jana Colombe (66/1), Remind Me Again (80/1), Party President (100/1), Poetic Focus (100/1), Ben Purple (150/1), Fortunate Outcome (250/1)

Verdict

SOMMESKY shaped encouragingly in a well-run maiden on last month's Fairyhouse hurdling debut and has to be considered the one to beat with improvement on the cards. Custom Taylor looks the obvious one to give him most to think about, with Mi Lucky Cailin appealing as best of the rest.
