Verdict

COOPERATION is penalised after landing a double at Nottingham but was winning off a higher mark over track and trip last year and the hat-trick beckons. Twilight Secret won a lower grade apprentices’ race at Wolverhampton and escapes a penalty while Miss Bella Brand beat The Nail Gunner when successful here last month and is 5lb higher. Intervention has a good strike rate on the all-weather but all five wins so far came on the Tapeta.
