Formscan By Mark Nunan - SOMMESKY won a bumper on heavy ground at this venue in March. He shaped like a certain future winner when fourth of 25 on hurdling debut at Fairyhouse, drops in class and should be suited by this longer trip. Custom Taylor showed useful bumper form over this trip and stepping back up in distance should suit after her staying-on third on hurdling debut over 2m at Galway. A bumper winner with lots of hurdling experience, Mi Lucky Cailin was over five lengths behind Custom Taylor at Galway. Second in half of her eight starts in this sphere, her best form is over 2m and she is not sure to be suited by this longer trip. %0A%0A
