EACHARN finally got off the mark when scoring over 6f here recently and beating Oor Jock and Tynamite in the process. This longer trip is no problem having been defeated by only a neck over course and distance by Nam last month. The latter has been beaten off today’s mark subsequently while Secret Memories won here at the end of last year but remains 8lb higher. Course regulars Shelbe and Tom Dooley return to action while Fastidious still looks in need of some help from the handicapper.
