Verdict
A fiendishly tight handicap to end proceedings and though COOPER does not appear to be the most straight forward of rides, Kevin Ryan's maiden has shown ability in the past, and if Jamie Spencer can get him to cooperate, his stamina can come into play. Goodnightsuzy broke her maiden here last season and has claims on her third over course and distance in May. Dylan's Storm was turned over in a similar event at Chepstow on Thursday and the Brighton scorer has it to do in order to return to winning ways. Ejbaar was well beaten on his handicap debut and Mystic And Artist is yet to conclusively prove that she has trained on. Sugar Lump is also declared to run at Chester earlier in the day.
