FormscanBy Michael Graham - JOUSTER could pick up compensation after falling on his latest start over a similar trip at this track. He made stealthy progress and travelled well to close in fourth at the penultimate flight where he departed. Arthor didn't appear to stay over further in Punchestown, but his never nearer fifth on penultimate start in Limerick gives him prospects. Yabo was too keen in Punchestown, but is an interesting front-runner with a hood fitted. She is the highest-rated horse in the field and Conor Stone-Walsh takes 5lb off her back. Danny The Fence has disappointed recently, but his sole victory came at this track, while Quornofamonday was in decent form before a below-par run at Punchestown. Chosen Shant's fourth in a big field at Naas wasn't a bad effort, however, she does seem to prefer better ground.
