Anyone know what these seedlings are? They are around 4 inches high and

They
look vaguely familiar somehow so I pricked these three out into a pot of
their own. The seeds must have originated in the multi purpose compost.
My
first thought was tomato seedlings but we've lost all ours (and the
potatoes
too) to blight and whatever these are seem to be blight resistant, they
were
thriving next to the dying and blighted toms.

Um. From the leaves they look like tomato seedlings except these have
reddish brown stems. If you rub your fingers on a leaf, that familiar
tomato leaf smell should confirm it otherwise I'd guess a solanum of some
kind.

I just rubbed a leaf to a pulp between my fingers and there was no smell of
tomato, in fact there was barely any smell at all.
