Quornofamonday²⁶

Weight: 11-5| Age: 6

T: J P Dempsey J: Shane Fitzgerald

Forecasts

Jouster (5/4), Danny The Fence (13/2), Quornofamonday (8/1), Arthor (17/2), C'est Rien (17/2), Solly Attwell (9/1), Portnacoo (11/1), Yabo (11/1), Chosen Shant (12/1), Perfect Arch (20/1), Ventnor (28/1)

Not so competitive as the numbers suggest and this looks a very good opportunity for JOUSTER to bounce back from a late fall here last time out when still going strongly and open his account. Both Quornofamonday and Chosen Shant are weighted to have a say and can chase home Gavin Cromwell's improving maiden in that order.
