Verdict
D B Cooper went for £225,000 at the Goffs Aintree Sales after scoring at Ballyknock in April and has joined Gordon Elliott. JEROBOAM MACHIN was a convincing winner at Durrow in March and the half-brother to the smart Joyeux Machin can make a successful debut for Emmet Mullins. The remainder look up against it though Raceview Road completed a double with an easy victory over two rivals at Toomebridge and probably was not right when last of five at Portrush.
