All of these step up in distance with another chance going to BRANWELL. The latter floundered in heavy going at Newmarket when only fourth on his handicap debut but Charlie Appleby’s charge will appreciate the return to this surface having placed at Chelmsford before that. Andonno is a similar type who won over a mile here in novice company earlier while Where You At ran well over a shorter trip at Southwell on his handicap bow. Book of Secrets has placed in a handicap over 7f here and is fitted with a tongue-tie today while Saratoga Gold and Dr T J Eckleburg look best of the rest.
