MACS BLESSINGS had been threatening to win before getting off the mark with a comfortable victory here a month ago, when Arriba De Toda was seven lengths behind, and a 4lb rise shouldn’t be enough prevent a double. Cheap Jack has yet to win but his last three runs have been in slightly higher grade while Kodi Dream and Klipperty Klopp are closely matched on their 1-2 here last month though the former should just have the edge again. Good Tyne Girl found 6f too short at Wolverhampton last time but was staying on at the finish.
