FormscanBy Michael Graham - JACK HACKETT is a real Kilbeggan specialist and could land his third course success. He enters this in good nick from his last three outings at this track. He took the runner-up berth over slightly further in May before a decisive victory over an extended 2m3f last month. He then reverted to hurdles and was placed over an extended 3m. Na Caith Tobac has made a good start to his chasing career with a pair of victories in Downpatrick and a placed run at Wexford. He's up in class, however, Ben Kennedy's 7lb claim means he gets plenty of weight from Jack Hackett. He could make a bold bid in first-time blinkers. Dontdooddson ran a cracker in a close fifth over CD on his first start for Eoin McCarthy. He has to enter calculations. Arrycan has the ability to win one of these, but this trip around a tight track could be a bit sharp for him.
