Inexplicable was in good form at the end of last year when beating the likes of Shyjack, Boy George and TYCHE (NAP). But the latter wasn’t beaten far in third over track and trip and Brian Ellison’s mare can turn the tables re-opposing on more favourable terms today. Odd Socks Havana is due to be raised 3lb for last week’s second over a longer trip at Newcastle while Rania has a shout with an apprentice’s allowance in her favour.
