No ground worries for Joncol

PAUL NOLAN expects the testing ground to suit Joncol in Sunday’s John Durkan Memorial Chase at Punchestown.

His stable star resumed to winning ways at Thurles on his seasonal reappearance and Nolan is one of few trainers not casting an anxious eye to the sky at the moment.

“He’s won the race before, he’s in good form and I believe the forecast for the week is very stormy and rainy and that won’t inconvenience us,” the trainer told sportinglife.com.
