Upsetting hot favourite Sovereign Award, the win would do wonders for former trainer Allan Cooper who has suffered ill health of late.

"Allan Cooper been a bit unwell and I hope he’s been able to watch that today and get a good buzz out of it," Bedggood said.

Jockey Dwayne Dunn too was keen to pay tribute to Cooper. "He hasn’t been well at all as well documented. I think he’s well enough today to watch her go around she they’ll be at home watching and a big thanks for their efforts".
