Cloone Rocket won over the course and distance in August and is only 1lb higher so has to be considered along with Duers, another who has scored over track and trip who is taking a drop in grade. COLDSTONESOBER is still to win over fences but has been racing over trips too short recently, staying on strongly when the race was all over. He's well enough handicapped and is given the nod over Lough Roe Lady, who has been performing with credit in novice company and makes her handicap debut. Jack Bene has a definite chance if the rain arrives as his form in testing ground is well up to this level though the biggest threat looks to be Loughnagall, a very easy winner over a longer trip here in August and better for a fair reappearance at Punchestown.
