Electric Jet87
Age: 5|  Weight: 12-0| J: David Bass| T: C E Longsdon| OR:  99
Placed in an Irish point and made the frame on first 3 completed starts over hurdles, including when third of 14 in a C&D maiden (good) in June. However, below form at Worcester (23f, good) when last seen 3 months ago. Makes chase debut.

Age: 8|  Weight: 11-13| J: C Gethings| T: S Edmunds| OR:  98| D
Proved better than ever when gaining a second chase success for current yard at Worcester (20f, good) in June. Ran well next 2 outings, before a rare off day in first-time visor at Stratford (22.6f, good) 26 days ago. Could bounce back with cheekpieces reapplied.

Mystic Manp47
Age: 7|  Weight: 11-11| J: Ben Bromley(5)| T: Harry Derham| OR:  96| CD
Winner of first 2 starts over fences for Oliver Sherwood last season and recorded back-to-back C&D wins upon joining current yard, including this same race. Has shaped as if back in form when making the frame last 2 outings, so he's a major player.

Special Dragonh,t128
Age: 5|  Weight: 11-10| J: Toby Wynne(3)| T: O Greenall & J Guerriero| OR:  95| BF
Has improved since going handicapping over hurdles, getting off the mark at Ludlow (21.2f) in April before needing a stronger pace when second of 3 at Bangor (19.6f, good to soft) next time. One to note as she goes chasing after 4 months off.

Age: 6|  Weight: 11-8| J: Lee Edwards| T: K Frost| OR:  93| D
Opened his Rules account in handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter (19.9f, heavy) in January but disappointing next 2 starts. Possibly needed the run after 5 months off at Bangor in September, so this Irish point winner could fare better as he makes his chase debut.

Henry Box Brown36
Age: 7|  Weight: 11-6| J: Ellis Collier(7)| T: Evan Williams| OR:  91| D
Has returned to chasing this season and gained a first success over fences when staying on to lead close home in a Worcester handicap (20f, good) in August, suited by a strongly-run race. Could still have more to offer, but he'll need things to drop right.

Supasunrisev145
Age: 8|  Weight: 11-3| J: Finn Lambert(3)| T: N A Twiston-Davies| OR:  88| DWS
Doubled his tally over fences at Warwick (20f, heavy) last November and made the frame in 5 of his next 6 starts. Pulled up when last seen in May, but he enters calculations after a break (has had a wind op) with his yard going well.

Harrys Hope167
Age: 6|  Weight: 10-12| J: Ben Jones| T: B Pauling| OR:  83
Irish point winner who showed more than previously under Rules when fourth of 9 in maiden hurdle at Exeter in January. Made the frame last 2 starts in handicaps to end the season and, given her pedigree, fences may see her in a better light.

Noble Cavep22
Age: 5|  Weight: 10-11| J: R P McLernon| T: Jonjo & A O'Neill| OR:  82
Offered a bit more than previously over hurdles when fourth of 8 in a Worcester novice (20f, good) in August, though was still well held. Went backwards from that effort at the same course (23f, good) 22 days ago, but he now goes chasing on his handicap debut.

Bensinib,t24
Age: 8|  Weight: 10-11| J: Harry Reed| T: R L Llewellyn| OR:  82| D
Hurdles winner at Worcester last summer and, though yet to strike over fences, he's been placed 4 times from 8 starts in this sphere (including in this race behind Mystic Man last season). Well backed when unseating rider at the eighth at Newton Abbot last time and no surprise to see him in the mix.

Eric Carment26
Age: 8|  Weight: 10-6| J: K Brogan| T: G Hanmer| OR:  77| CD
Irish point winner who capitalised on his falling mark over hurdles at this course (20.4f, heavy) in May. However, making only his second chase start (in first-time tongue strap) he had dropped away before falling at the last at Stratford (22.6f, good) 26 days ago.

No better than mid-field in a pair of bumpers and yet to make a serious impact over hurdles, well-beaten twelfth of 16 in handicap at Stratford (22f, good) on his latest outing in August. Others preferred on his chase bow.

Age: 9|  Weight: 10-4| J: Daire James McConville(7)| T: M Keighley| OR:  75| CD
Dual chase winner in 2021/22 and, having been struggling for form, took a step back in the right direction when fourth of 11 at Stratford (22.6f, good) 26 days ago. Has dropped to a dangerous mark if able to build on his latest effort.

Point winner in 2021 and belatedly broke his duck under Rules in handicap chase at Worcester (20f, good) in June last year. Has gone the wrong way from that effort in only 4 starts since, though.

Age: 11|  Weight: 10-2| J: R Patrick| T: P Winks| OR:  66
Hurdles winner who remains without a victory over fences in 18 attempts. Has refound some form this season, but was a long way out of the handicap when tailed off at Newton Abbot (16.3f, good) last time. 7 lb wrong at the weights this time around.

Forecasts

Henry Box Brown (4/1), Bensini (5/1), Special Dragon (13/2), Mystic Man (8/1), Harrys Hope (10/1), Noble Cave (10/1), Supasunrise (10/1), Electric Jet (12/1), Calvic (12/1), Eric Carmen (12/1), Dreamsundermyfeet (14/1), Ismael (16/1), Fixed Wing (20/1), Guttural (66/1), Scottsdale (100/1)

Verdict

MYSTIC MAN has been heading back in the right direction, shaping as if a return to shorter would suit when fourth at Market Rasen (21.4f) in August, so he is taken to land this race for the second year in succession. Bensini, second to the selection last season, had been in decent heart prior to unseating last time and could be the main danger, ahead of Supasunrise.
