QUORNOFAMONDAY shaped well after a lay-off when third at Gowran last time and can build on it here to open his account at the chief expense of Western Model who also looks to have more to offer on the back of a good Cork sixth on his handicap debut. Glenabo Bridge appeals as the pick of the rest for place purposes.
