Verdict

QUORNOFAMONDAY would surely have won with better jumps at the final 2 flights at Fairyhouse last time and can gain compensation now. Cristiano Marealdo rates an obvious danger on the back of last month's C&D success. Joker du Chenet is an unexposed sort who could yet have a bigger performance in him and also makes the shortlist. Chosen Shant would need considering if showing up here rather than at Clonmel on Thursday.

  1. QUORNOFAMONDAY (IRE)
