Sienna Dream returns to action raised 7lb for winning over 7f here in October but MACS BLESSINGS has the more recent winning form. He scored on fast going over track and trip a fortnight ago with Jessie Allan back in third but has gone close in testing ground here in the past so gets the vote. Dodgy Bob scored at Hamilton recently though was earlier beaten by Star Cracker when the latter completed a double at Newcastle in January while the returning Milabella has undergone wind surgery since last in action.
