Traveller has won twice at Wolverhampton this year and placed here earlier in the week. Several finished runner-up on their latest starts with Dark Devil beaten only a nose at Wolverhampton and The Retriever finding Curfewed too good over track and trip. But THE MACKEM TORPEDO has more scope having found only one too good over 7f here a week ago on only his second start handicapping - this extra distance could see Brian Ellison’s charge open his account. Lukoutoldmakezebak was beaten only a length when fourth over 1m2f at the track last time and is back on a winning mark.
