In the 5.15 at Ayr HAYMARKET is a Course and Distance expert who has had a couple of runs to get fit; it won 3 times last season

and saw its mark rise from 49 to 59 in the process and it seems to have a glass ceiling around the 60 mark. It runs off 58 here, may

need to come back t mid 50's but knows how to win, opposition is moderate and off 58 at 16/1 struck me as each way value. I looked

at the Chepstow Card very closely and in the 2.45 with several out of the handicap and many with too many question marks I thought

that COOPERESS was worth a small each way nibble at 20/1. Trainer Dai Burchill knows how to plan a small coup and outside the

favourite, much of a muchness and with some having fitness and stamina concerns, not out of the question we could get a nice place.
