THE COCKNEY MACKEM has much the best form and will no doubt start a short price. He finally got off the mark with a maiden hurdle win at Perth last time but his earlier placed efforts in competitive handicaps is even better form. Top Totti could be the one to chase him home as she opened her account at Chepstow last month and has plenty of scope while Wake Your Dreams should also go well on the evidence of his best efforts. The remainder will do well to get involved.
