COOLFIGHTER completed a hat-trick over hurdles by giving Long Journey Home 12lb here on Thursday, for which he's penalised. He had earlier conceded Buonarotti Boy 10lb and beaten him three lengths at Gowran and though the latter should get much closer on the revised terms he was a bit disappointing at Ballinrobe last time and the positions can be confirmed. Hannover Street and St Lawrence Gap fought out the finish of a maiden over the track and trip in June and are very closely matched again while Sparkalark won a maiden here before finding 2m4f too far at Killarney. Coldstonesober disappointed again here on Friday night.
