In depth
Verdict
COOPERATION (NAP) completed a double at Nottingham back in August and found only one too good in a Class 2 sprint at the same track last time. He can taken advantage of this big drop in class and is preferred to the progressive Sovereign Slipper. The latter ended last year with a hat-trick but is 6lb higher on his belated return having been gelded while Eldeyaar won a lower grade contest at Wolverhampton last time. Dark Side Thunder’s winning run came to an end at Yarmouth while Chief Of Staff gets a change of headgear.
