In the 32Red.com Handicap (4.00) at
Wolverhampton on Thursday, Lord Cooper is unbeaten over 6
furlongs on the all-weather – including over course and distance –
since being gelded in November and looks to have been found another
decent opportunity. The son of Sir Percy steps up in grade off a 3lb
higher mark than when edging out Jet Setter over course and distance
last month and, while the placed horses on that occasion have done
little to advertise the form, he is clearly going the right way. He’s
already been raised 15lb since December, but may be progressive
enough to complete a hat-trick. Jockey Renato Souza is 4-16 for the
yard on the all-weather in recent seasons.
