PASSING PLEASURE made it 2-2 for this yard with a pretty decisive chase debut success at Catterick and, with further progress likely now faced with a stiffer test, he will prove hard to beat. If able to bounce back from a poor last-time-out performance Cowboy Cooper may emerge as the main danger ahead of in-form veteran Uptown Harry.
