Cooper back in business at Limerick

Bryan Cooper will have his first competitive ride since his horror fall at the Cheltenham Festival when he partners the Dessie Hughes-trained Guitar Pete in the Dunraven Arms Hotel Hurdle at Limerick tomorrow.

The retained jockey for the powerful Gigginstown House Stud operation suffered a complicated multiple fracture of his right leg when Clarcam crashed out in the Fred Winter Hurdle in March.

Dr Adrian McGoldrick, Irish Turf Club chief medical officer, described the leg break at the time as “the worst fracture I have ever seen in a lower limb”.
