Has lots of form under Henry Main, notably two wins in 2021; three-year losing spell is a big negative but current mark is attractive; not ruled out. |

10st 7lb |
Won a Flat race in 2023 but is 0-21 over hurdles; tailed off on last two starts, admittedly in a maiden last time after four months off but he does not look a solid option; tongue tied first time. |

27th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 2m 0f 56y Class 2 |
8st 9lb |
Switched to front-running this year, including with Tapeta wins over 1m4f here in March and 2m at Southwell in April when last seen; that's career-best AW form but this race is a much higher grade and should be much harder to boss. |

21st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 189y Class 2 |
10st 10lb |
11yo who was tailed off over C&D (good to soft) in November and pulled up at 100-1 at Ayr (2m4f, soft) last month on his sole start since; however, the drying conditions are a positive, with his last five wins coming on good ground, and he won two in a row over C&D last autumn to take his winning tally at Kelso to four; no surprise if he bounces back with a bold show. |
50/1 |

23rd Feb 2026 Soft 2m 4f 100y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
11yo who won three times last August-October (2m1f/2m5f, good); however, tailed off at Kelso (2m5f, good to soft) in November when last seen and there's a suspicion he may not want testing ground nowadays. |
16/1 |

17th Sep 2025 Good 2m 4f 189y Class 2 |

Back to winning ways at Cartmel (2m1f) in August and followed it up with a good third of nine in 2m4f handicap at Sedgefield 13 days ago; this C&D scorer can't be discounted. |

19th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 7f 217y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
A four-time scorer (including here in 2025); in good nick without winning this season, finding drop to 1m4f against him when a staying-on sixth of 12 at Newcastle last time; this veteran needs considering back up in trip. |
4/1 |

27th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 4f 98y Class 5 |
8st 9lb |
Four wins last season included two here at 2m; never figured in this race last term but he's been in the frame all nine starts this year and was unlucky when fifth at this track in December on his last go at 1m4f; each-way prospects. |
14/1 |

4th 8 (8) |
31st Mar 2026 Standard 1m 5f 219y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
10yo whose easily most successful season was 2025, with four wins; the latest was at this track (2m) in December and he's held his form, including over C&D, so has each-way claims once again. |

Verdict
Don’t Look Back and Das Kapital (second choice) should relish conditions but CLANSMAN also has a fine record on soft and heavy ground and he may be able to confirm April’s Doncaster placings with Captain Haddock.[Paul Smith]
