Trip concern but Joncol in great shape

Paul Nolan admits the trip is likely to be on the short side for Joncol when he makes his seasonal reappearance in a cracking renewal of the Poplar Square Chase at Naas on Saturday.

The six-year-old won three of his four starts over fences during his novice campaign, his only defeat coming in the Champion Novice Chase at the Punchestown Festival, where he finished a creditable third.
