Clearpoint

Trained by Simon Hodgson at his yard in Dogmersfield, Hampshire, Clearpoint has been part of a productive operation — Hodgson's team has sent out 8 winners already this season, suggesting a yard in decent form. Jockey Alistair Rawlinson knows Clearpoint better than anyone, and the numbers tell the story: 3 wins from 7 races together, which is close to winning 1 in every 2 times they've paired up. That kind of partnership matters, especially when races are tight.

What stands out most is how Clearpoint performs when conditions turn wet and the ground gets muddy and soft underfoot. In those conditions, the record reads 2 wins from just 3 attempts — winning 2 in every 3 races on wet ground. That is a remarkable conversion rate, and it suggests this is a horse that doesn't just cope when others struggle — it actively thrives. Keep an eye on the weather forecast before Clearpoint runs.

Lingfield Park has become something of a home track. Seven visits there have produced 2 wins, which might not sound dramatic on paper, but factor in that the course is a tight, turning all-weather track that suits particular types of horse, and it becomes clearer: Clearpoint has figured out Lingfield in a way many horses never do. Similarly, the bulk of Clearpoint's career has been spent at Class 3 level — one step below the elite — where a record of 3 wins from 8 races (38%, or roughly 2 in every 5) shows it competes with genuine purpose at that standard.

Clearpoint's most recent win came at Wolverhampton in November 2025, and recent form of 5-2-2-2-1-1 — two wins in the last six races, both finishes either first or second — shows a horse operating right at the top of its game. Still active and raced just a day ago, this is a six-year-old hitting a confident stride. Worth following closely.
