      Verdict

      CLEARANCE struggled dropped down in trip in heavy going last time but had landed a double over 2m before that. He should go close again back over this longer trip and beat Billy No Mates at Ripon earlier. The latter bids for a hat-trick under a penalty having subsequently won over 1m6f at Haydock while Beechwood Jude beat the selection over 1m4f at Catterick but would prefer some cut in the ground. Hiroshima and Theatro were both well beaten in the same race over 1m6f last time and the latter is fitted with headgear today.
