Master Tern and Grinkov, joint favourites at 8 to 1 with Paddy Power for the Pierse Hurdle at Leopardstown on Sunday week, are also among the entries for next month's Tote Gold Trophy.
The sponsor's take a different view of the pair's chances in the Newbury race, for which there are 14 Irish-trained entries, with Master Tern, the winner of last season's Vincent O'Brien County Hurdle, an 8 to 1 chance while Grinkov is on offer at 14 to 1.
Mr Cool has been installed the 6 to 1 favourite for the Tote Gold Trophy. Martin Pipe's seven-year-old, one of 16 entries for the British champion trainer in a race he landed with subsequent Champion Hurdle winner Make A Stand in 1997, has been given 10st 12lb.
Mr Cool won an intermediate hurdle in good style at Newbury last time to earn his position at the head of the market.
Other notable entries from the Nicholashayne team are Make A Stand (11st 1lb), who because of injury has raced only once in the last two seasons, Auetaler (11st 5lb), Seebald (10st 9lb) and Valiramix (10st 6lb).
Last year's winner Geos heads the weights for the February 10th contest, which has attracted a total of 81 entries, on 12st and is a 14 to 1 chance to repeat his 2000 victory.
The six-year-old's trainer Nicky Henderson, who also saddled Sharpical to win the race three years ago, has Hidebound (10st 6lb), Grecian Dart (10st 5lb), Landing Light (9st 5lb), Perfect Value (9st 2lb) and Captain Miller (8st 12lb) in the £100,000 handicap as well.
