6th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
British form figures 2221321; returned from a slightly less productive stint in Dubai to narrowly edge out Sergeant Pep in a 7f Class 4 at Lingfield (13-8 favourite) ten days ago; with consistency being his forte, he should be one the premises once again from just 2lb higher. |

1st 2 (3) |
27th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
7f novice win at Kempton last August and he showed better form in two handicaps there last autumn; down the field in two runs in Dubai this year but he looks a key player back on British soil. |

3rd Jul 2026 Good 2m 0f 167y Class 3 |
10st 12lb |
Once a sprinter on the Flat but has won twice over hurdles since joining current yard, a Hereford maiden and a C&D novice (both on good); hard to know what to make of his remote second in a handicap back here a month ago when the winner strolled home by some 26l. |
9/2 |

2nd 5 |
3rd Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 167y Class 3 |
10st 9lb |
Useful on testing ground on the Flat early in career and this 4yo has tapped back into that promise over hurdles this spring, winning a maiden at Hereford (2m, good) in April on his second stable start and following up in a C&D novice (good); trainer won this with Clearance, after whom this race is named, in 2022 and 2024; intriguing candidate back in a handicap. |

29th May 2025 Good 1m 1f 0y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Promise last autumn on first two runs (7f/1m, heavy/AW) and returned with close second at Epsom (8.5f, good) last month; in top hands to continue to progress and every chance this trip will be within range; player. |

19th Aug 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Won twice at around 1m on turf last year; ended that campaign with two lesser efforts and he hasn't found his best in three runs this year; opposable despite his slipping mark. |
20/1 |
|
13th 4 (5) |
2nd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Last year's wins were at about 1m and hasn't raced over 7f since his debut; quiet this season after a gelding operation and others appeal more; cheekpieces, in which he has form figures of 100, now return. |
25/1 |
|
5th 5 (3) |
1st Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
C&D winner last August (good ground; cheekpieces first time); three heavy defeats have followed and he comes here with plenty to prove. |

27th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
3-4 on the AW and was only beaten a neck at Yarmouth (1m, soft) last time; makes his stable debut after 78 days off having changed hands for 20,000gns last month, but a stiffer test than this may suit him better now. |
8/1 |
|
2nd 5 (9) |
10th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 3y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Made it 3-4 on the AW when winning at Newcastle (1m, AW) in March but below that level in two starts on turf since, including when last of his group of five at Newmarket (1m; first-time cheekpieces) 39 days ago; cheekpieces discarded. |
12/1 |
|
8th 10 (6) |
2nd May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
Seems more effective on AW (3-4) than turf (1-9) and finished down the field in the Spring Mile at Doncaster (14-1) five weeks ago; now has cheekpieces to accompany the usual tongue-strap. |

13th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Classified debutante who still needs to prove her 40-1 success in first-time blinkers at Kempton (1m) wasn't a fluke; finished last in both starts since (lost her action latest). |
12/1 |
|
8th 7 (1) |
7th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Off the mark (13th attempt) in a 1m handicap at Kempton last month but she finished last of nine there ten two weeks later; has something to prove again after that and she comes with risks attached back up in trip. |
8/1 |
|
9th 7 (9) |
28th Jan 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Prevailed narrowly to open her account in C&D contest two weeks ago on third start for new yard, taking well to first-time blinkers; may have more to offer in the retained headgear; respected up just 2lb. |
