Running well in the main this spring finishing a head second over an extended 2m3f at Chepstow (good-to-firm) last time out. Disappointed over C&D when pulled up last time out however.

11/1
Won on debut in a Towcester bumper in 2015 but beaten in all 11 starts since. Finished 32L behind the winner at Uttoxeter (good-to-soft) last month and others make more appeal.

11/4
Won on debut for this yard over an extended 2m5f at Newton Abbot (good) last month. Run possibly came too quick for him when pulling up at Towcester five days later and interesting if reproducing that Newton Abbot effort.

9/2
Winner three times from 47 starts and handicap mark is steadily falling having run poorly in four outings for this yard. Worth a check in the market in this contest.

Beaten favourite when 13L second over an extended 2m1f at Plumpton (good-to-firm) in April. Races off a 1lb lower mark here and an interesting runner in this.

Well held in all three starts for this yard including in a hood (retained) the last twice. Had just the four starts under rules however and making his handicap debut today.

Put a run of four non-completions behind her when winning a maiden point-to-point at Hexham (good) last month. Interesting runner returning to rules racing today.

Forecasts

Dr Dunraven (5/2), Clearly Capable (11/4), Cor Wot An Apple (3/1), Defining Year (9/2), Chevalgris (5/1), Poetic Presence (8/1), Samson (11/1), Luca Brazi (12/1)

Verdict

CLEARLY CAPABLE can put a disappointing effort last time out behind him by taking this. The selection was turning out quickly following a success at Newton Abbot and can get the better of top weight Dr Dunraven who ran well on his debut for this yard. Chevalgris is another to disappoint last time and he is taken to put that behind him by taking third.
