Why is Cooldine favourite for Sunday?

Question

Why is Cooldine favourite for Sunday? Even Cooldine’s trainer, Willie Mullins, is struggling to work out why his horse is favourite for the Irish Hennessy Gold Cup at Leopardstow on Sunday. He got beaten out of sight in the Lexus Chase over Christam,s and has it all to do with Joncol and Money Trix.

Answer 1

Sure, but Cooldine wasn’t himself that day and on his best form, like when he won the RSA Chase at Cheltenham last March, he’s the one to beat.
