Electric Jet⁸⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 12-0| J: David Bass| T: C E Longsdon| OR: 99

13/2

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.

Form: 3F4-F38

Calvic^p²⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 11-13| J: C Gethings| T: S Edmunds| OR: 98| D

10/1

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.

Form: 6-21466

Mystic Man^p⁴⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 11-11| J: Ben Bromley⁽⁵⁾| T: Harry Derham| OR: 96| CD

16/5

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.

Form: P11-044

Special Dragon^h,t¹²⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-10| J: Toby Wynne⁽³⁾| T: O Greenall & J Guerriero| OR: 95| BF

17/2

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.

Form: 87021-2

Supasunrise^v¹⁴⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 11-3| J: Finn Lambert⁽³⁾| T: N & W Twiston-Davies| OR: 88| DWS

9/1

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.

Form: 22443-P

Harrys Hope¹⁶⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 10-12| J: Ben Jones| T: B Pauling| OR: 83

13/2

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.

Form: 604P34-

Noble Cave^p²²

Age: 5| Weight: 10-11| J: R P McLernon| T: J & A O'Neill| OR: 82

33/1

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.

Form: P-949

Bensini^b,t²⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 10-11| J: Harry Reed| T: R L Llewellyn| OR: 82| D

8/1

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.

Form: U9D53U

Eric Carmen^t²⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 10-6| J: K Brogan| T: G Hanmer| OR: 77| CD

14/1

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.

Form: 51P73F

Fixed Wing^t³⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 10-5| J: Charlie Deutsch| T: D Killahena & G McPherson| OR: 76

14/1

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.

Form: 95-4750

Dreamsundermyfeet^v²⁶

Age: 9| Weight: 10-4| J: Daire James McConville⁽⁷⁾| T: M Keighley| OR: 75| CD

8/1

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.

Form: 50P-074

Guttural^t²⁵

Age: 10| Weight: 10-2| J: James Turner⁽⁷⁾| T: P Taylor| OR: 69| D

50/1

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.

Form: 315-P07

Scottsdale⁴²

Age: 11| Weight: 10-2| J: R Patrick| T: P Winks| OR: 66

125/1

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.

Form: 7P-5433

Forecasts

Mystic Man (16/5), Henry Box Brown (4/1), Harrys Hope (13/2), Electric Jet (13/2), Bensini (8/1), Dreamsundermyfeet (8/1), Special Dragon (17/2), Supasunrise (9/1), Calvic (10/1), Eric Carmen (14/1), Fixed Wing (14/1), Ismael (16/1), Noble Cave (33/1), Guttural (50/1), Scottsdale (125/1)

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.
