Plasterer well ahead of 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. "He's done very well and everything's gone according to plan," said the Tralee trainer. "The step up to two and a half miles should be a help. The ground will probably be on the slow side, big time, but there's nothing we can do about that. "He's been working very well and we're very happy with him. He won't be out of place in this race." Noel Meade has left in the exciting Aran Concerto and Casey Jones while Eamon Sheehy's Trafford Lad and Edward O'Grady's Tranquil Sea are other classy possibles. A quality list is completed by Ballyholland, Golden Silver, Northern Alliance and Rare Bob.
