In depth

Verdict

Alfred The Grey went close over 7f here on his latest start but that was back in October and MACS BLESSINGS should have the edge in this. The latter was beaten less than a length at Wolverhampton in both recent starts and another bold bid is expected. Blazing Dreams was placed over 7f at the track last time without threatening the winner while headgear
