Brunch²⁰⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Callum Rodriguez| T: M Dods| OR: 76| C

1/1

Won with something in hand, despite racing keenly, when last seen here over 7f in November (second start). Interesting that connections choose to try defy a penalty here, and he looks very likely to be a big player again now up in trip.

Form: 51-

I Can't Remember

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: J Fanning| T: K Dalgleish

10/1

€35,000 2yo, out of an Italian 1m3f winner from a family whose wins have largely been over 1m-1m2f. In good hands. Already gelded prior to this debut. Trainer's AW 3yos have 8% strike rate. Probably one to watch unless market vibes are strong.

Ingleby Command⁹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Connor Murtagh⁽³⁾| T: J Ward

40/1

Failed to show much either here (7f) on debut in February, or at Southwell (1m) a couple of weeks later. Probably one to watch for now, with minor handicaps in mind.

Form: 59

Returnofthemac⁸⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Cam Hardie| T: D O'Meara

15/2

Probably outperformed his 25-1 SP on debut at Wolverhampton (7f, Tapeta) on debut, in March, when showing some promise. Half-brother to two winners at up to 1m2f, so step up in trip looks positive. In good hands, and could get involved.

Form: 5

Splinter²³⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: T Hamilton| T: R A Fahey

9/4

Dwelt and also didn't get the smoothest of passages at the business end on debut, when 1L fourth of nine at York (7f, soft) in October. That looks good form in the context of this race, and step up in trip no problem. Very interesting.

Form: 4-

Tough Character¹⁰⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Rowan Scott⁽³⁾| T: Phillip Makin

18/1

Well held on debut in Ireland 13-months ago. Since switched to this trainer, for whom he produced better here over 7f in February. Can come on again for that, and no surprise to see him competitive.

Form: 0-4

Charmore⁹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: J Quinn| T: W Storey| OR: 28

250/1

Has raced exclusively at this venue so far, being well beaten in three starts for Ann Duffield last year (all 7f), and beating just one home on debut for this trainer (5f) on handicap debut in March. Can only suggest a watching brief.

Form: 000-5

Marengo Sally²⁰⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: P Mulrennan| T: B Haslam

125/1

Well held both at Pontefract (6f) on debut almost a year ago and then here when upped to 7f in November. Looks best watched on that evidence.

Form: 79-

Tyche

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Ben Robinson| T: B Ellison

25/1

£10,000 yearling, second foal of a 1m2f winner. Heartening that trainer was immediately back among the winners here on Monday's resumption. She is entitled to need this first experience and would only be of major interest if market vibes are strong.

Forecasts

Brunch (1/1), Splinter (9/4), Returnofthemac (15/2), I Can't Remember (10/1), Tough Character (18/1), Tyche (25/1), Fairy Ring (33/1), Ingleby Command (40/1), Marengo Sally (125/1), Charmore (250/1)

With a few of these likely to be in need of the experience it can go to SPLINTER, who showed up well despite some greenness on debut, and he should also enjoy this extra furlong. Brunch looks likely to prove a tough opponent under his penalty, while Returnofthemac and Tough Character are others who could improve enough to get involved in the shake-up.
