Formscan By Gary Carson - MA JACKS HILL may be able to make a winning start over hurdles here. The Famous Name won a point-to-point at Dromahane back in April 2024, beating a smart horse in Sortudo, and made €310,000 in the sales ring subsequently. He was turned over at a short price on his ‘track’ debut, finishing third to stablemate William Butler, and was also runner-up in another bumper subsequently. Going over jumps now may bring improvement from him. Los Blanco was beaten at odds-on when last seen at Naas in April. He had been a promising third at the same venue previously and could be a danger now. The 120-rated Letos is another that has to be on the shortlist.
