Formscan - Having landed this contest in 2021, CAPTAIN HADDOCK returned to finish sixth in the corresponding event 12 months ago. Heather Main's charge is 7lb lower today and his recent C&D second would suggest he might be ready to exploit a sliding handicap mark. Citizen General merits the utmost respect under a 5lb penalty having bolted up at Pontefract eight days ago, while the consistent Warhol is unlikely to be far away in the capable hands of Simon Walker.
