Fairly useful in handicaps, produced a career-best when last seen winning at Kempton over 2m (well suited by the trip, unexposed at it). Sold for £9,500 since from David Simcock's yard, makes stable debut, interesting if ready to roll off a break.

Fair handicapper having won for this yard and his previous yard (Gary Moore) on the AW/turf over staying trips (also winning hurdler). Last seen when running a good second over hurdles at Kelso; 9lb higher than his last winning Flat mark.

Losing sequence starting to grow; does have a mark that is now well below his last winning one dropping in grade. Didn't look as though he was in good enough form to take advantage when last seen; absence may have freshened him up, yard in good form.

9/4
Fair handicapper, off the mark in this sphere when trying Fibresand for the first time last October off 4lb lower mark (1m6f). Found reappearance at Yarmouth (1m6f, firm) barely a stiff enough test (ran with credit), will appreciate a return to 2m.

9/4
Maiden handicapper; sixth try in handicaps off a career-low mark although he's not really done anything convincing in this sphere as yet. Stayed on well over 2m on his reappearance at Newcastle, others have more persuasive profiles.

Finally broke her maiden in 2019 without needing to improve taking a Musselburgh 2m2f handicap off a lowly mark (looked quirky). Mixed bag since then (including when pulled up over hurdles), ran badly when last seen, often slow away, caution advised.

25/1
5lb out of the weights with cheekpieces on for the first time and yet to win a race (0-7); hardly has the most convincing profile. Attracted support on his first Polytrack start recent but gave no cause for hope; headgear may help, must improve.

Forecasts

Wadacre Galoubet (9/4), Flash Point (9/4), Cool Possibility (7/2), Clearance (6/1), Gavlar (6/1), Kitty's Cove (11/1), Encryption (11/1), Gabriel Oak (16/1), Thornton Le Clay (25/1)

Verdict

Not a bad handicap for the grade with Clearance sure to attract some interest returning from a break having shown ability in this sphere and over hurdles although more is needed off this mark based on the his last Flat foray. Ron Thompson has had his small string in good form since the resumption of racing and his stable debutant Encryption is worth a second glance who looks potentially well treated. Cool Possibility a non-runner at Thirsk on Tuesday has claims but does need to prove himself on turf. This may be best left to WADACRE GALOUBET who will find this 2m much more to his liking having run with credit over 2f shorter at Yarmouth recently.
