Forecasts

Quornofamonday (11/4), Joker Du Chenet (9/2), Chosen Shant (8/1), Cristiano Marealdo (8/1), Be My Hero (9/1), Simply Shabra (11/1), Sarah's Soldier (11/1), Thelonglad (14/1), O'Faolains Glory (16/1), Joeswayornoway (20/1), Astrophysicist (20/1), Bayou Belle (25/1), Silent Flight (25/1), Moulane West (40/1), Breakintheclouds (50/1), Masterstonemason (50/1), Boola Boola (50/1), Red Finch (50/1), Monoxide (66/1), Keeptellinemnuttin (66/1), Without Exception (80/1)

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.
