J: Harry Reed

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.

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.

Won over 9.4f on the AW last September for Karl Burke and bought for 67,000gns at the sales; the hood could be a significant addition as he pulled way too hard when beaten 9l behind the favourite at Newton Abbot (2m1f, good).

Won at Wolverhampton last month when upped to 9.4f on his only AW start; creditable fourth of 11 to Stormy Monday at Doncaster (good to soft) 12 days later when upped to 1m2f, but he raced freely at and near the front and others prove stronger late on; concern same will happen today.

16-race maiden (0-11 on the Flat) who failed to threaten over hurdles last time; however, she ran okay in that code two starts ago and was runner-up on the Flat in February (1m6f, AW); not ruled out each-way in a first-time visor (replacing cheekpieces).

Made an encouraging start on bumper debut last March, but has gone backwards since and was tailed off on all three subsequent starts; offered little on last month's hurdling debut here (2m1f) after a break, and this longer trip needs to spark a major turnaround.
