FormscanBy Alan Magee - Jimmy Coogan has enjoyed a good run with three winners here already this year and FRENCH COMPANY has plenty to recommend with Declan McDonogh a significant booking. The selection filled the runner-up spot twice on turf last year and has finished strongly on both outings here in January including in the race won by Angel In The Sky over this trip. The four-year-old has half-a-length to find with veteran Paddytheirishman who outran odds of 66/1 on that occasion but, on the balance of form, can now come out on top. Nudge The Judge is an obvious threat having been placed on both outings over course and distance already this year, while Tenth Amendment, Scarlet Seymour and Stardayz are others to consider.
