The Hennessy Cognac Gold Cup over 3 miles at Leopardstown this Sunday has the makings of being a great race, bringing together two if not three of Irelands top chasers. Firstly Cooldine, winner of the RSA Chase at the 2009 Cheltenham Festival, but yet to find that form since, will probably start as favourite, but market support could ebb and flow between him and the Paul Nolan entry, Joncol.
As it stands currently, Cooldine is 7/4 favourite, with Joncol at 2/1 with the next best in the market being Money Trix at 7/2. These odds are all available with Ladbrokes.
Cooldine certainly likes this course, he won here in 2009 by taking the PJ Moriarty Novice Chase when he had subsequent Arkle Trophy winner, Forpadydeplasterer in second. This time however he will be taking on more seasoned chasers, which is something he seemingly has not come to terms with yet. He pulled up in his only race this season the Lexus Chase at the end of December and before that he could only manage 4th place in the Champion Novice Chase at the end of last season, behind Rare Bob, Gone To Lunch and possibly significantly Joncol. Mullins has said that Cooldine had excuses in the Lexus Chase but has come on hugely since at home where he is looking back to his best. Mullins also confirmed that this will be a warm up run for his attempt to take on the very best in the Cheltenham Gold Cup.

Paul Nolan has been confident about his horse, Joncol, all season, believing him to be at one stage a potential Gold Cup runner. However his lack of stamina was shown up in the recent Lexus Chase where he tired at the end after running extremely well, contenting himself with third place behind What A Friend. Before that however, he had looked very much the part when winning the Grade One, John Durkan Chase, where he had In Compliance and J’y Vole well beaten and who both oppose once again in this. This race will be a very good warm up for Cheltenham where Joncol is set to run in the very competitive Ryanair Chase.

The third potential top Irish chaser is Notre Pere, who has been disappointing since receiving a rating of 176 last year following victories in the 2009 Welsh National and the Grade One, Punchestown Guinness Gold Cup. He simply has not got out of the blocks this season so far, but his connections still believe in his ability and expect him to run a big race in this; at 5/1 he may be worth a little nibble.
