TARA COVE has already won three points and, while he was only able to achieve modest form over hurdles, there's a good chance he will up his game now switched to the larger obstacles, so he's preferred to Caeruleum, who made a positive chasing debut on his penultimate outing. Nine Nine Nine is also respected.
