It’s hard to ignore the claims of MACS BLESSINGS who has looked more and more of the finished article since going handicapping. A 4lb rise for a win over 1m here last time doesn’t look excessive and he should be able to cope with the drop back to 7f as he bids to follow up. Kodi Dream is likely to appreciate a return to this surface having looked far from a natural on Fibresand last time, this C&D winner deserving of respect in a first-time hood. A return to positive tactics would be seen as a plus for Cheap Jack and the handicapper has certainly given Good Tyne Girl some assistance. Klipperty Klopp is another who will appreciate coming back to a course where he feels most at home.
