FormscanBy Donal Murphy - It might be worth siding with JAKE PETER in this open contest. Despite being the oldest runner in the line-up, he is two from two at Cork, and while disappointing in recent starts, he has dropped back down to a workable mark of 110. Hasten Slowly finished ahead of the selection when they clashed at Ballinrobe last month and it'll come as no surprise if she manages to confirm the form. Back over flights for the first time since December of 2023, Secret Rock is of definite interest at the bottom of the handicap, while Ballinrobe winner Dunkerque, the locally trained Cappa Hill and Eoin McCarthy's Wholelotofbusiness are others for the shortlist.
