COWBOY COOPER was much better than the bare result on return over hurdles here and, with that run under his belt and this step back up in trip a plus, he is taken to resume winning ways. Montys Soldier shaped well on his chase debut and can make his presence felt along with Newcastle winner The Jad Factor.
