11/8
Triple winner from 6f-1m, including over C&D last time out in a similar contest. Up 4lb this time, but has previously shown he is capable of a bit better than that, so he has to be taken seriously in this follow-up bid.

4/1
Broke her duck at the 11th attempt in a first-time hood when last seen here (7f, soft) last October. Has gone up 7lb as a result. Yet to win first time out in previous seasons, but had been freshened for the win. Enters calculations but more needed.

16/1
Dual 5f winner on soft ground here earlier in his career, though last five wins have been over 5f/6f at Newcastle (Tapeta). Remains on a competitive mark, but record when fresh is poor, so needs to rectify that if he is to win again here.

10/3
Multiple winner over 6f/7f, and goes on any ground. Latest success came at Hamilton (6f, good to soft) recently, when he made virtually all in a 0-62 handicap. 5lb rise makes this tougher, but he has won back-to -back before. Interesting.

7/2
Triple 6f winner, two of those at this track and all on good or good to firm ground. Form has tailed off since her latest win in 2018, and has 2½L to find with Macs Blessings on their recent running here. More needed, but should be competitive.

66/1
0-8 and very moderate form so far, being well held in all but one start. Returns for her first run since last September, after wind surgery, and a watching brief can only be advised.

Forecasts

Macs Blessings (11/8), Dodgy Bob (10/3), Jessie Allan (7/2), Sienna Dream (4/1), Star Cracker (16/1), Milabella (66/1)

Verdict

MACS BLESSINGS had the measure of Jessie Allan when he scored here last time, and he is taken to defy a 4lb rise and repeat the dose, although Jim Goldie's mare may narrow the gap. Sienna Dream is not ruled out, while Dodgy Bob is feared.
