Verdict

COLDSTONESOBER looked like winning here on Wednesday when leading at the second last but was run out of it in the latter stages. That was over an extra two furlongs over hurdles and he has very solid form over fences at around this trip so gets the vote. Un Beau Roman has been hit and miss and it was the latter at Killarney last month, though he just has the beating of Sizing Solution on their run at Punchestown in October. Mr Fiftyone would have a fine chance on his second to Ballyadam Approach at Fairyhouse in April but he's disappointed subsequently and Brian Ellison's UK raider Midnight Game hasn't won since 2012.
