In depth

Verdict

CLEAR THE RUNWAY posted a better effort at Plumpton on his handicap debut. He should be sharper for the outing and this won’t take much winning. One Last Glance ran well for a long way at Fontwell on his handicap bow and drops back down in trip while Touchthesoul has tumbled down the weights but has failed to complete either start since returning from a lay-off. The remainder are harder to recommend though Luckello may improve now handicapping with her yard in good form.
