16th Apr 2025 Good 3m 2f 0y Class 2 |
12st 0lb |
Very useful staying chaser when on song and has pretty good record at Cheltenham; pulled up at Exeter two starts ago and didn't find much at the business end when third of four at Carlisle (3m, good) last month but it won't be a surprise if he runs a big race here. |

13th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 7f 96y Class 2 |
12st 0lb |
12yo who lacked fluency when back over fences and was soundly beaten at Haydock in December; however, prior to that he made a fairly encouraging return from an absence over hurdles at Ayr and he's a six-time winner at Kelso; could have a part to play now back here. |

1st Nov 2025 Soft 3m 0f 70y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Likeable veteran whose ten wins include six at Kelso and three here; made a successful reappearance in 3m2f chase at Kelso (from Famous Bridge) last autumn; doesn't run often over hurdles these days but he has a lower mark and cannot be ruled out completely. |

7th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 4f 110y Class 3 |
11st 4lb |
Won two small-field chases (3m1f/2m7f) about two years ago but was pulled up last month, after a long absence, and might need another run or two before he's of interest again. |

14th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 203y Class 3 |
11st 6lb |
On the up when last seen out in the spring of 2024, bagging a pair of handicap chases (around 3m) at Catterick and Newcastle; has a 23-month absence to overcome here but yard is among the winners so he's no forlorn hope. |

11st 9lb |
9yo who has won just one of his 17 chases but he's finished second in nine of them, including at Kelso (3m2f, good to soft) in March; also effective on good ground and he won here over hurdles; not ruled out on return. |

14th Dec 2024 Good To Soft 2m 7f 214y Class 2 |
10st 6lb |
His first four chase starts were all at Ayr, finishing second in a good handicap at the Scottish National meeting in April on the final occasion (3m, soft); well beaten on reappearance at Punchestown last month but may have needed the run and he remains unexposed over staying trips; not discounted. |

23rd Nov 2024 Yielding 2m 5f 70y |
11st 4lb |
Has done all of his racing in the past 12 months at Ayr, running a cracker when second to Sharjah in a 3m Grade 2 handicap in April; no surprise should he improve for the run but not one to underestimate. |
8/1 |
Verdict
Does He Know kept on relentlessly to land a good prize at Doncaster last month and will be hard to beat if in the same determined mood here but ELVIS MAIL runs this track very well and is selected to win this race for the second year running. Twoshotsoftequila has been raised a combined 10lb for winning two relatively soft races and has more on his plate here. Your Own Story was behind Twoshotsoftequila last month and is 2lb out of the weights today but that was his first run since last spring and he can reverse those placings over this longer trip.[Chris Wilson]
