Big Jackpot rollover to Roscommon this evening
The Tote Jackpot is rolled over to Roscommon this evening, after consecutive rollovers from Galway on Sunday and Naas yesterday afternoon.
With the four Jackpot race winners coming in at 25/1, 20/1, 12/1 and 16/1 at Naas, it came as no surprise that it wasn't won and so the pool of €46,400 is rolled over to Roscommon today.
The first leg, Division two of the Dysart Maiden Hurdle looks to be between Minella King for Willie Austin, who went close on his last start at Ballinrobe and Bundle of Fun having his first start for Willie Mullins with Paul Townend aboard.
The second leg is the J.F Hanley Handicap Hurdle over three miles with recent course and distance scorer Regal Ambition a must inclusion for all investors. A Little Different has been in good form of late and also must be considered as should Mountain Heather and Ponmeoath who are capable of big performances.
After a good effort on his last start at Kilbeggan, Hily Distinguish looks another must pick in the third leg, the Connaught Beginners Chase. For The Staff who has been disappointing over fences, should also be included, for the Champion's team of Willie Mullins and Paul Townend, while point-to-point winners Tommy Turkle Mister First and Prince Of Milan are other horses to consider.
The last leg, the Sean Naughton Auctioneers Handicap Chase is another difficult race to find the winner, with many in with a chance.
Having been backed from 9/2 into 2/1 favourite on his last start at Wexford, Mcswynes Bay with Davy Russell aboard is sure to have his supporters as is Pistol Jack who went close on his last start at Kilbeggan.
Another horse to consider is Information who won over the course and distance in May and scored again on his last start at Ballinrobe over hurdles.
