Jeremy on the mark again for Cooper Dancing Jeremy made it two from three runs for Tom Cooper when claiming the amateur handicap hurdle at Clonmel this afternoon. The grey had scored over fences on his first outing for the Tralee handler at Cork last month before finishing fourth over timber at Fairyhouse eight days ago. Derek O'Connor took the ride today and moved up stylishly to challenge on the 10/3 favourite turning for home. The Jeremy gelding had a narrow lead going to the second last and kept on well from the final flight to post a length success over the staying on The Higher Road. Cooper said afterwards:- “He’s probably not a natural hurdler, he doesn’t seem to have a lot of respect for them, and I’d say that’s what cost him last week. "But he came out of it very well and we said we’d run him back again seven days later, off his mark. His future lies over fences, and I’d say he’ll go back over them now for a novice handicap off 110.” (Quotes by Tom Weekes)
