7/1

C&D winner in the past and successful in a 2m6f handicap chase at Fairyhouse (good-to-yielding) last month. Races off his 7lb lower hurdle mark here and likely to run well having won off a 12lb higher mark over hurdles a couple of years ago.

Forecasts

Knockraha Boss (11/2), Snugsborough Benny (6/1), Theo (6/1), Coldstonesober (7/1), Whoyakodding (8/1), Wee Tiger (11/1), Cant Wait (12/1), The Canny Man (14/1), Sweet Home Chicago (16/1), Jouxplane (16/1), Diggin Deep (16/1), Una's Pleasure (20/1), Slaney Craiglegacy (20/1), Fintown Boy (20/1), California Soul (25/1), Molten Gold (25/1), Jessicor (33/1), Kutitout (40/1)

COLDSTONESOBER was successful in a handicap chase when last seen on the track last month and can register a fourth hurdle victory here with a top jockey booked to ride. The selections victory over fences last time out came off a mark 7lb higher than he races off here and he can get the better of Knockraha Boss who was in decent form when last racing over hurdles and has placed off higher marks over fences since with Whoyakodding taken to finish third dropping in trip today.
