Strong Hand For Swan Charlie Swan believes he holds two live chances with Offshore Account and One Cool Cookie in the Ellier Developments Hanover Quay Champion Novice Chase at Punchestown tomorrow.The progressive pair were declared among a select field of nine for the Grade One event run over three miles and one furlong.Offshore Account arrives seeking a four-timer, while One Cool Cookie takes his chance after connections elected to bypass the Guinness Gold Cup the following afternoon.'I was half thinking of running One Cool Cookie in the race on Wednesday, but I had a discussion with the owner and as he´s only a novice we decided to go for the race tomorrow,' Swan explained.'There´s plenty of nice races for him next year and I´m very happy with the two of them ? they´re both in good form.'They´re both similar horses in that they like being up there and both jump well.'Obviously they will hopefully not be taking each other on too early, but they both have good chances I think.'Swan was thrilled to see One Cool Cookie score at the highest level earlier this month and feels conditions are likely to play to his strengths again tomorrow.He added: 'We´d never run him on this good ground before and we were always hoping he´d go on it as he´s a good mover and a right-handed track is obviously the key to him.'They both like going right-handed so it´s fingers crossed they´ll run well, but Aces Four will be a tough nut to crack.'That Ferdy Murphy-trained danger is the sole British raider, but looks the likely favourite after putting up an impressive display at Aintree last time.Prior to that he was in the process of running a big race against Denman at the Cheltenham Festival, eventually finishing fourth after making a costly mistake at the third-last.Snowy Morning finished second on that occasion and takes his chance for Willie Mullins, while Knight Legend and Mattock Ranger will also face the starter.Merdeka, Vic Venturi and Dr. P.J. Moriarty winner Mister Top Notch complete the field.(C) PA Sport
