Formscan By Eamonn Murphy - Jim Dreaper's son, Tom said of MR COSMOPOLITAN, in an Irish Field stable tour in March of 2012: "He shows a nice bit and we'll see next month what route he'll go. He is a fine big chasing type and I'd say he'd appreciate a bit more time so I'd say it will be later in the year before we'll start him off." It was mid-January before the public got their first sighting of Mr Cosmopolitan, as he ran a cracker at Navan to finish runner-up to Blissful Moment. The Basanta six-year-old showed plenty of 'toe' on that occasion and his year older full-sister, World Citizen has won two in recent times – including over the minimum trip. Mr Cosmopolitan could well now begin to repay the patient approach of his connections. He surely has more in the locker than Raise Hell and though this fellow has a rating of 113, he's eminently beatable. Bumper winners, Blue Bicycle and Shannon Spirit have plenty to do conceding weight all round. Moyne Nineoseven has a squeak but he hasn't run since August and he has an inexperienced rider on board.
