Cooldine can collect in Lexus

COOLDINE is the hopeful choice to land a wide open Grade 1 Lexus Chase at Leopardstown this afternoon, should the meeeting survive a 7.30am inspection due to the forecast of heavy frost overnight.

The fact it is his initial run of the season is an obvious worry, but it’s well to remember the selection did win easily first time up last campaign.

Willie Mullins’ charge was clearly over the top when performing poorly at the Punchestown Festival and is far better judged on his scintillating display at Cheltenham when landing the RSA Chase by a whopping 16 lengths.
