COLDSTONESOBER is in superb form and will take some stopping. He was raised 7lb for scoring over hurdles at Navan then landed a handicap chase at Galway three days later from a 12lb higher mark. A hat-trick beckons though there are plenty of dangers in an open contest. Swantykay scored at Tramore last month but made a couple of costly blunders when tackling a longer trip at Kilbeggan so a better round of jumping should see him in the frame. Res Ipsa Loquitur has been in excellent form and gained her second success of the summer at Listowel last week for which she has a 6lb penalty. Barry Geraghty rode her on her previous start but he's now on board Steel King, who had looked very progressive until finding 2m4f beyond him here last month. Mind The Pennies had little chance against the useful Draco in a Bellewstown maiden last month but makes his handicap debut on a fair mark.
