JAKE PETER successfully converted his recent flat form to hurdling at Thurles last month and there should be more to come now upped in trip given how well he stays on the flat so he is worth siding with in this wide-open contest. Smithscorner is a danger having been in great form until unseating his rider last time out as is Grotesque who can build on his stable debut latest where he looked to tire over 2m6f.
