    Verdict

    Clearance has already enjoyed a profitable campaign but the handicapper has reacted accordingly, though the going will be in his favour again. Small Bad Bob was a beaten favourite here in May when last seen and has changed stables since with BROOKIE also having a first run for a new yard. However, it will be a surprise if Anthony Honeyball doesn’t find a race or two for the Irish import. Tapley was out of his depth at Sandown in April but has gone well in previous starts here.
