LUSITANIEN secured a comfortable victory at Worcester over an extended 2m on his latest outing and an 8lb rise might not be enough to prevent him from going in again. Magic Mike was far from disgraced when third at Hexham last time and he should go well off a 1lb lower rating, while Uncle O continues to drop in the ratings and could get into contention.

Fergal O'Brien's LUSITANIEN got off the mark in great style at Worcester on his chase/yard debut and is hard to oppose despite being raised 8 lb in the weights. Magic Mike seems sure to figure prominently too if, as expected, building on his recent Hexham third. C&D winner Atlantic Storm can have a say too.

The most obvious answer is LUSITANIEN, who looked revitalised when winning on his chasing debut at Worcester three weeks ago.

SWAPPED won with his head in his chest at Southwell when making his first start for the Charles & Adam Pogson stable, which brought up the hat-trick for the son of Sinndar. He has been hit with an 11lb hike for that victory, but that could still underestimate his ability. The main threat is Tango Echo Charlie, who was a winner himself at Fontwell last time and he could get involved off 9lb higher, while No Regrets is another to consider on the back of his Hexham success.

SWAPPED was predictably hit hard by the handicapper following his facile victory on debut for new connections here last month, going up 11 lb. However, he barely broke sweat that day and probably has enough in the locker to complete the four-timer. Tango Echo Charlie made a winning start in this sphere at Fontwell and rates the main danger ahead of No Regrets.

All of these have something going for them but SWAPPED was seen to very good effect here on last month's stable debut and is selected.

MYSTIC MAN justified favouritism with ease over C&D last month but was hit with an 11lb hike for that success. However, considering the manner of that victory he could be well up to the task on only his second start for the Harry Derham stable. Dirk Gently filled the runner-up spot at Worcester last time and has to be considered off only 1lb higher, while Bensini is also of interest sporting first-time cheekpieces.

MYSTIC MAN can go on improving and another victory looks on the cards. Dirk Gently might be the danger.

Progressive 6yo MYSTIC MAN (nap) has taken well to chasing this year and he always looked in command when making all here last month.

DESTROYTHEEVIDENCE hand plenty in hand when getting off the mark at Worcester in May and the son of Kayf Tara is hard to oppose on his return to action. That said, Butch has also shown a high level of ability already and he could give the selection plenty to think about. Tzarmix is another with valid form claims, while Cheltenam De Vaige is the pick of the remainder.

BUTCH was very much going the right way over hurdles towards the end of last season and, with the step up to 3m likely to suit on his return, this looks a good opportunity for him to resume winning ways. Tzarmix rallied well to get up in the closing stages at Chepstow in March and may do better still for his new yard, especially over this sort of trip, with Destroytheevidence capable of making his presence felt, too.

Destroytheevidence is respected but preference is for BUTCH, who brings a solid piece of handicap form back into novice company.

HEROSS DU SEUIL bounced back to form with a decisive victory at Uttoxeter a couple of weeks ago and he clearly sets the standard, despite a 7lb rise for that success. Redbridge Rambler has shown some promise in maiden events and could take a big step forward now switched to handicap company, while Dom Perry and Could Be Trouble should not be underestimated on their return to action.

HEROSS DU SEUIL bounced back to capitalise on a lenient mark at Uttoxeter and has plenty of handicapping scope based on past efforts, so he's preferred to the lightly-raced Dom Perry, who could return to form after a break. Throne Hall is another one to consider.

It might be worth chancing the fitness of 2m course winner DOM PERRY, who is quite well handicapped on his seasonal debut

ELHAM VALLEY had plenty in hand when winning a selling handicap at Stratford last month and could well be up making a winning start for the John Cornwall yard. In truth, this doesn't appear to be a much tougher assignment for the six-year-old and there is a lot to like about his chances here. Feel The Pinch is respected off the same mark as when he won at Bangor in June, while Sergeant Wilson and Polyphonic are also shortlist material.

SERGEANT WILSON is undoubtedly a quirky customer, but he looked the likely winner for much of the race only to be reeled in on the line in a Doncaster handicap in March and makes plenty of appeal on his return with his yard amongst the winners. Polyphonic is a consistent sort who could take his form up to a new level having joined the upwardly-mobile stable of James Owen, with Ithaka another to keep a close eye on in the betting.

The most interesting runner is POLYPHONIC, who is on a workable mark and has joined a burgeoning new stable.

HAVEYOUGOTMYMONEY looked to have been revitalised by a wind operation and first-time cheekpieces when a close second over an extended 2m7f at Hexham last month. With the headgear retained, the five-year-old could make amends and go one better here. Royal Max is an interesting contender on his debut for new connections, while others to consider include Blazing Court and Catuaba.

HAVEYOUGOTMYMONEY found only one too good again last time and is worth chancing to go one better for all that this looks quite competitive. The unexposed Catuaba is a big danger if he gets his own way in front and Let It Shine can't be ruled out.

He fell when last seen in May but CATUABA drew nicely clear of the others with a progressive rival when scoring on his handicap debut.
