MR JACKMAN started a short-priced favourite at Tipperary three weeks ago and justified the support with an impressive victory. He has a winner's penalty to carry but should be up to completing a double before heading for better things. Sam Curling saddled a bumper winner at Roscommon last week and Elusive Specimen ran well for a long way at Limerick last month so could be the one to chase the selection home. Most of the newcomers are bred to be chasers but James Hoban should have pace and could snatch a place.
