C&D winner. Latest win at Catterick in August. Creditable sixth of 11 in handicap at Ayr (7.2f, heavy, 11/1) 18 days ago, slowly away. Minor place money is probably the best he can hope for.

5/1

Two wins from 6 runs this year. 9/2, career best when winning 11-runner handicap at this C&D 19 days ago, all out. Nudged up just 2 lb and should make a bold bid to complete the hat-trick.

Forecasts

Trumpets Call (3/1), The Mackem Torpedo (9/2), Cmon Cmon (5/1), Phantasmal (17/2), Peachey Carnehan (17/2), Mudawwan (12/1), Hachert (12/1), Great Colaci (14/1), Aqaareb (14/1), Gumra (16/1), Castlehill Retreat (25/1), Strong Steps (28/1), Bankawi (40/1), Red Skye Delight (50/1)

A first career success could be on the cards for THE MACKEM TORPEDO, who has raised his game since switched to handicaps and enjoys a handy pull at the weights with Cmon Cmon, a rival he was narrowly beaten by over C&D last month. Cmon Cmon has gone in again since, making it 2-2 here in the process, and is feared in his hat-trick bid. Likely-improver Gumra and Great Colaci are others to consider.
