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. |

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. |

13th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 167y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
6f winner for Ralph Beckett and came good at the sixth attempt over hurdles with a clearcut win at Hereford (2m, good; hood removed); this 4yo now carries a penalty but has less to prove than most of these. |

18th Jul 2026 Good 2m 0f 125y Class 2 |
11st 3lb |
Three hurdle wins at around 2m; has been running well in defeat this summer (2m-2m4f), mostly in a hood but in no headgear last time; cheekpieces now added; others are more compelling. |

2nd 2 |
3rd Jul 2026 Good 2m 0f 167y Class 3 |
11st 12lb |
Three hurdle wins at around 2m; seemed to need his run in May and then rallied to threaten an unexposed winner at Worcester (2m4f, good); that was a solid effort and he's only 1lb higher. |
9/2 |
|
2nd 2 |
6th Jun 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 3 |
11st 11lb |
Has three wins over hurdles at around 2m; may have needed the run on his first start since January when fourth of eight at Warwick (2m, good) last month and this step up in trip should suit. |

26th Jul 2026 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 4 |
10st 13lb |
It was only a Class 5 he won at Worcester (2m, good) but that was straightforward in the new tongue-tie and he ran fairly well off a 6lb rise in a small-field Class 3 at Newton Abbot; travels strongly and well worth considering down 1lb. |
7/2 |

3rd 5 |
3rd Jul 2026 Good 2m 0f 167y Class 3 |
10st 8lb |
Lightly raced; it was only a Class 5 he won at Worcester (2m, good) but that was quite straightforward in the new tongue-tie and he's open to considerable improvement; raised a fair 6lb. |
4/1 |

1st 5 |
11th Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Runner-up in a Warwick bumper and glimpses of ability over hurdles, none more so than when falling two out at Ludlow (2m, soft) in February; lacked the pace to challenge on handicap debut at Aintree (2m1f, good) but still unexposed; tongue-tie added. |

5th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 5y Class 6 |
11st 2lb |
Multiple hurdle winner over 2m-2m1f who is 1-6 on turf in this code (1m4f win on soft); below her best in both codes across her last two starts but if able to reproduce her Ripon effort from mid-June (1m4f, good) then she could come into this over a shorter trip but a much stiffer track. |
5/1 |
|
4th 3 (2) |
24th Jul 2026 Good 1m 4f 8y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Seven-time hurdle winner who is 1-11 on the Flat; faded back over hurdles at Newton Abbot three weeks ago but she was runner-up at Ripon (1m4f, good) last month, and that was a bold bid after wind surgery; has claims on that form and she's in the mix back in this sphere. |
7/2 |
|
4th 3 |
3rd Jul 2026 Good 2m 0f 167y Class 3 |
11st 7lb |
Beat three rivals in this 12 months ago and has added further wins since then, on the Flat and over hurdles; only beaten a length in 1m4f handicap last time after a wind operation; not handicapped out of it by any means. |

18th Jul 2026 Good 2m 0f 125y Class 2 |
11st 3lb |
Useful Flat form in France; after winning a maiden hurdle for Willie Mullins he was essentially disappointing under both codes and has got nothing going for Dan Skelton, with his latest run after wind surgery at Newton Abbot thoroughly underwhelming (8-1 and weak in the betting); very much the stable second string. |
14/1 |

5th 1 |
3rd Jul 2026 Good 2m 0f 167y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Useful Flat form in France; after winning a maiden hurdle for Willie Mullins he was essentially underwhelming under both codes and has got nothing going in three runs for Dan Skelton, including handicaps at the Cheltenham and Aintree festivals; in calmer waters here after a wind operation and disappointing should he not show a lot more. |
9/4 |

6 |
10th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 103y Class 2 |
11st 7lb |
No promise in handicaps around 2m5f (Martin Pipe at Cheltenham latterly) since joining Dan Skelton; his hurdle form for Willie Mullins came at around 2m, so it's possible the drop back in trip will help, but the yard's other runners hold more obvious claims. |
12/1 |
