Paddy Flood's fall from View Mount Prince in the fifth resulted in him picking up severe bruising to his right leg (stood down until Saturday) which left Tom Doyle to deputise for him on Joncol, half a length winner of the Irish Racing Yearbook Beginners Chase. Tue 09th Dec
They went a good consistent pace on that ground. Barry thought he was beat going to the second last but he filled himself up again after that,. He'll definately come on a lot for the run. I'm just hoping to have a clear run with him this season. He's had a lot of ifs and buts the last few seasons but thank god there are no hiccups so far this time. I think if everything goes right he could be a 10lb better horse than the highest rating he has achieved so far.
Paul Nolan
“The plan with Joncol is still the Lexus all going well. He just had a small bit of trouble with a muscle.
“Hopefully that's sorted now. He has had loads of physio and we left no stone unturned. It was a relief to find something."
Paul Nolan
It's great. I was a little bit worried that we wouldn't be able to get him to peak for three Grade Ones,. He's a big framed horse but we didn't do much work with him because we wanted to freshen him up. I was just worried he might blow up but thankfully he's done the business, just barely, but done it. We have options with him now. We could decide to give him a break and bring him back for Punchestown if the ground stays safe. We'll see how he comes out of this but Cheltenham is an option. I'd say the Ryanair is 50/50. I said at the start of the season the Hennessy was his Gold Cup and he's done it now so we're happy.
Paul Nolan
It was probably the first time we were 100% happy with him today. He's on a different programme this year and different diet and it seems to have turned him inside out. He's a big horse and we were waiting for him to tell us when he's ready. He might not have been able for the training last year. He's still only six and if he's ok after today we'll aim for the Lexus Chase at Leopardstown. His owners have been very patient as he's had a very stop start career with ulcers but we hope that's all sorted now. You'd have to think he could be a Gold Cup horse after that. I just hope he's not a mud lark horse but I don't think he is.
Paul Nolan
He's had a few little set backs, nothing too serious which has held him up a bit so far this season. He's a big baby at (17 hands). Cheltenham may come a bit too soon and I will certainly not be in favour of going over with him myself. He's only 6 and is one for the future.

We didn't want to frighten him on his first run over fences and I'm delighted with the way he picked up from the last. He is just shy of eighteen hands and that is why we went straight over fences with him (won a point-to-point and a bumper in just four previous appearances). He'll now step-up in trip for the three mile Grade One race at Leopardstown over Christmas. He is a proper horse. (EM)
