      Verdict

      Cheltenham second BLAIRS COVE probably has Perth winner Ramonex to beat in this opener but should be up to the task getting 7lb. That Cheltenham run was a cracking first effort since switching stables and he’s the type to run up a sequence. Cogburn and Oski have both been showing promise in bumpers and are likely to do well over timber, though may need the experience today.
