The Mackem Torpedo gets a change of headgear having come up short again here last time but Deolali put a string of placed efforts behind him when scoring over track and trip with previous winner Eldelbar well behind. Perfect Soldier is another finding wins hard to come by and the less-exposed STEALING SILK is preferred having placed over track and trip in both starts so far in handicaps including a close-up third behind Twisted Dreams, who runs in the previous race.
