Formscan  - Zhang Fei has made the frame on each of his last two outings and should go well after his third at Taunton last time. However, the drop in trip isn't sure to suit and BIGZ BELIEF is preferred. Barry Brennan's seven-year-old finished just over a length behind Zhang Fei in that Taunton contest, but he is 2lb better off this time and has previously struck over this distance. Clinton Lane is the pick of the remainder.
