Torcello is a soft-ground specialist but is fit from the Flat. Jamacho has won three times around here but had to go to Jersey to end his losing snap in July. Recent Bangor winner Cousin Oscar makes more appeal but HANG IN THERE won a slightly better contest here two runs ago before a second in a very competitive handicap at Market Rasen and he has the class to defy his big weight.
