I believe the answer is:

scratched

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'withdrew one's name' is the definition.
'scratched' can be an answer for 'withdrew' (I've seen this before). I am not sure about the 'one's name' bit.

I can't explain the remainder of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for scratched that I've seen before include "taken from the field" , "Relieved an itch" , "Pulled out of contest" , "Scraped, scored" , "marked" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
