COOPER'S CROSS took this season's progress up a notable notch fitted with this headgear when making light of a rise in class in the Sky Bet Chase here 5 weeks ago and could still be ahead of his mark up 5 lb given he beat a subsequent winner that day. Castle Robin enhanced his good strike rate over fences with a polished round of jumping at Sandown, so is another to consider along with the classy Does He Know.
