2.15 Thirsk – ATHERSTONE WARRIOR (2pt win – 7/4 bet365)

2.45 Thirsk – CLANSMAN (1pt ew – 5/1 bet365)
CLANSMAN has yet to win on the all-weather so it was hugely encouraging to see him finish a half-length 40-1 second at Chelmsford last month on his first start since early November.

His trainer had a winner at Newcastle yesterday and further rain won’t inconvenience him.
