Cooldine Prince to complete hat-trick

COOLDINE PRINCE, a winner of his last two races over flights, gets the vote to make it a hat-trick when he contests the Powerstown Handicap Hurdle at Clonmel this evening.

The Sirsan gelding got the better of the favourite, Gallileo Strike, in an exciting finish to the Dromahane Handicap Hurdle at Cork 11days ago, having previously been successful in the Jack Duggan Memorial Handicap Hurdle at Gowran.

Always well placed in the latter race he took it up at the final flight and kept on well on the flat to score by a length and a half from Love Ditty.Although he has gone up in the weight the handicapper has yet to get his measure and he is taken to score again at the expense of Lisa Baker.
