Quornofamonday bounced back to form when springing a 22/1 surprise in the handicap chase at Thurles today.

Quornofamonday Springs 22/1 Surprise at Thurles

The Philip Dempsey-trained gelding had been out of form since scoring at Fairyhouse exactly a year ago.

He was a game winner today though, challenging three from home and getting the better of River Vale over the last to post a seven length win under Donagh Meyler.

Trainer Philip Dempsey Praises Patient Owners Following Victory

Dempsey said:- "He isn't the easiest one so it is unfortunate the owners aren't here today.

“He is owned by the Lynch family, from Clogherhead, who had Harbour Pilot with Noel Meade previously and they've been very patient with this lad.

"He has been very hard to get right and he is that he is, although he was back down to his own grade today and maybe the cheekpieces helped.

“He works well but is awkward and just needs to get his jumping together, although he got into a rhythm today."
