Very little to go on here with only Janeymac of those with experience showing any real potential. However, JAKE PETER has been in excellent form on the Flat since three moderate efforts over timber, completing a double before finishing runner-up in two handicaps. It's no surprise to see him given another chance over hurdles and he gets the nod. Noel Meade has his horses flying and the €70,000 purchase Apocalypse has a fine pedigree for jumping while Load Up Time is out of a mare from the family of champion hurdlers Granville Again and Morley Street.
