Swan cool on Cookie plans

Charlie Swan could run Powers Gold Cup winner One Cool Cookie in the Guinness Gold Cup at the Punchestown Festival on Wednesday.

Charlie Swan could run Powers Gold Cup winner One Cool Cookie in the Guinness Gold Cup at the Punchestown Festival on Wednesday.

The Michael O'Leary-owned six-year-old was one of 16 entries for the Grade One Ellier Developments Champion Novice Chase next Tuesday but Swan may instead hold his charge back 24 hours.

Swan, who also has Offshore Account entered in the Champion Novice Chase, told the Racing Post: "Both horses are in great order and at this stage I'm considering the big race (the Guinness Gold Cup) on Wednesday for 'Cool'.

"But we'll see how things are shaping up closer to the time.

"I'm a bit worried about the ground for him (Offshore Account) if it's any better than good, so hopefully they'll keep watering."
