Forecasts

Jay Pee M (11/4), Harbour Highway (7/2), Hello Jack (7/2), West Of Carrig (5/1), Secrecies Of Stone (8/1), That's About Right (10/1), Baldur's Gate (10/1), Lisleigh Lad (14/1), Attaboyarchie (16/1), Hardwired (25/1), Favori Logique (28/1)

THAT'S ABOUT RIGHT took a step back in the right direction over 2¼m at Thurles recently and, having slipped to a dangerous mark, he could be the answer now back at a more suitable trip. Jay Pee performed with credit in a handicap hurdle back from a break in January and he is respected back in this sphere, while Favori Logique is interesting, for all that a 19-month absence is naturally a concern, and Harbour Highway is likely to improve over fences before long.
