Cooper keen on Plasterer’s prospects in Drinmore

THOMAS Cooper is happy with the condition of Forpadydeplasterer ahead of the Bar One Racing Drinmore Novice Chase at Fairyhouse on Sunday.

The Grade One-winning novice hurdler made a pleasing debut over fences when winning at Punchestown four weeks ago.

He now goes to the top level in an intriguing two-and-a-half-mile contest that has attracted nine entries at the confirmation stage.
