Forecasts

Jack Hackett (9/4), Dollar Value (3/1), Le Hachette (3/1), Jack Holiday (5/1), Roachdale House (9/1), Time For Mabel (25/1)

DOLLAR VALUE made the perfect start to life over fences when a ready winner at Downpatrick and is taken to follow up now pitched straight into handicaps off a handy mark. Jack Hackett rates a big threat though after his recent Kilbeggan victory with Le Hachette much respected too.
