Verdict
VALLERES could only manage third when sent off favourite at Newbury on his chasing bow but he wasn’t beaten far and Alan King’s charge can build on that promising effort in this. Cooper's Cross battled on well to win by a neck at Sedgefield but faces tougher opposition today including Tupelo Mississippi, who is fitted with headgear after being beaten in a match at Carlisle. Winds Of Fire got no further than the first at Hereford on his chasing debut.
