Verdict
CROWN OF THORNS (NAP) makes a quick reappearance after an excellent run in a big field at Punchestown on Tuesday and from the same mark can go one better. King Of Aran won over 2m3f here in August and has had a couple of recent runs at Dundalk to keep him fit. Aquarian showed a glimmer of ability in a Down Royal maiden and can make progress while Gordon Elliott's Thisonesforollie, a winner between the flags, is on a very lowly mark. Coldstonesober has managed to win eight times in his career and a run out at Dundalk in March should have put him spot-on. Stoughan Cross and Grande Waltz were due to run at Clonmel last night.
