FormscanBy Eamonn Murphy - Of course a mare-on-a-roll like local contender Romella, isn't easy to go against, but HALF SHOT could be worth chancing on his first outing since May. Half Shot is joined by another Norman Lee runner, Oskar High, for this assignment, and he returns to Cork after an eighth placing here a fortnight back. The selection meanwhile, reverts to hurdling having been campaigned over fences in five starts in 2021. Despite having a point-to-point victory under his belt, Half Shot doesn't look an easy sort to win with, having been 'done' in running at very short prices, when ultimately coming up short in the past. Switching codes and fresh off a break there might be no better time than to catch him now, with Philip Donovan's five pound claim another plus. Not surprisingly given the nature of this heat, many others deserve respect too.
