BLEJAN EYHRE is taken to translate his winning point form to a win under rules, with Classic Rock and Clifden Boy set to give him most to think about. Blejan Eyhre was a decent performer before having a lay off and his recent win in a point to point suggests he has taken well to fences and he may be well treated. Clifden Boy has shown plenty of ability but he has jumping problems. Tony McCoy's booking and the first time application of blinkers may evoke an improvement but he is taken on. Classic Rock had been turning in some fine efforts until his jumping let him down at Huntingdon recently. A watching brief is advised until he puts in a smoother round. Blejan Eyhre comes here full of confidence and can collect.
