Just the four runners but only two appear to have a chance of success. CLEAR THE RUNWAY has been a revelation over fences since last seen over hurdles and should still have the pace to match strides with penalised four-year-old Restitution, who was a disappointing odds-on favourite at Fakenham last time having won a Class 3 handicap at that track earlier.

Clear The Runway (IRE) 1-2fav (11-10) Chased leaders, led after 6th, extended lead over 3 out, went clear before last and just nudged out flat, won at Southwell 2m hcp (4) gd in Apr beating Getaway Luv (11-3) by 15l, 5 ran.
