Promise earlier in career and, while both outings were sub-par last season, he's worthy of a market check having left Alan King in the 10 months he's been off.

Yet to better modest form in this sphere but managed to double career tally after 5 months off in 7-runner Plumpton novice in October. Solid third under a penalty in similar event at Wincanton since but doesn't appear to have anything in hand.

Winner at Newton Abbot (17f) in July and back on track lately, third in a stronger race than this at Taunton last time. Should be able to dominate this and makes most appeal.

On a lengthy losing run but has been back in form lately, finding only one too good when second of 5 in a first-time visor at Bangor 9 days ago. Cheekpieces back on now and he's worthy of respect.

Scored over fences at Leicester last February and added another chase success to his CV at Bangor (17.4f, good) 2 months later. Absent since (20 months) but he's potentially well handicapped back in this sphere.

Forecasts

Zhang Fei (8/11), Bigz Belief (3/1), Clinton Lane (7/1), Sabbathical (12/1), Chandlers Bay (14/1)

14:43 Fakenham - 22 December 2024 - Racecard - Horse Racing - Sporting Life

ZHANG FEI is in good order and finds himself in a less-competitive event than last time so, provided his enthusiasm can be channelled correctly, he can make all at the possible expense of Bigz Belief. Sabbathical has an absence to overcome but is well treated on chase form.
