FormscanBy Alan Magee - SOMMESKY added to a Limerick bumper win when successful in a 2m3f maiden hurdle also at Limerick over the Christmas period. The selection found Grade 1 company too hot behind Final Demand here last month, and confidence can be taken from the fact that the De Bromhead yard is in much better form now. Great Attitude landed a gamble on debut at Fairyhouse last weekend and has plenty of scope for improvement, while Gowran Park maiden winner Coral River is closely matched with that rival on a line through Kish Bank. Honesty Policy enters calculations on his decisive Navan maiden win, while Champagne Jury and Rockymountainbleu are others to consider in a competitive event.
