Zhang Fei
Struggled after returning to this stable last season but has shown more encouraging signs this spring, running respectably on the Flat before a better effort in a Cartmel selling hurdle (2m1f, good) in May; faces a tougher task back in open handicap company under top weight but has place claims.

Newport
Comfortably doubled his hurdle score when winning at Hexham (2m, good) nine days ago, escapes a panalty for that success and Tom Midgley can claim his 3lb allowance here; another bold bid looks likely.

Get The Value
Completed back-to-back wins last spring, including over 2m here, but has been badly out of form since returning from a break in December and failed to justify market support when pulled up at Newton Abbot this month; on a good mark but hard to recommend in current form.

Charlie My Boy
3-19 over hurdles, the latest coming at Huntingdon last May off 5lb higher; no match for Tyson (down to go in the 7.18) in his repeat bid in May on return from a break, though that was still encouraging; on a workable mark if able to build on that effort.

Western Soldier
Won at Wincanton (1m7f, soft) off this mark in November but failed to build on it afterwards; has offered more in two runs since returning from a short break but needs another step forward to figure.

Katzoff
46-race maiden under all codes, including 19 starts over hurdles; runner-up at Clonmel (2m1f, yielding) in April but failed to build on that next time; makes stable debut for a leading yard and, though he has plenty to prove, it'll be interesting to see what they can do with him.

Yanka Blue
11-race maiden, though placed on three occasions; has offered little encouragement in three runs since joining this stable, including when tried in cheekpieces last time.

Stellarmasterpiece
Five-time Flat winner (1m4f); justified strong market support when opening hurdles account here (2m, good to firm) in May, under Sean Bowen and shaping as though this longer trip would suit; up 6lb but remains capable of better after just eight starts in this sphere; leading contender.

Winston's Oath
Best effort over hurdles when third of six at Fakenham (2m, good) in April but has failed to build on that and has been well held on both handicap starts; others have more obvious claims.

Brooklyn Lullaby
Showed little in three hurdle runs last year but returned from a break with a more encouraging effort when fifth on handicap debut at Southwell (2m, good) recently; needs another step forward but has place claims.
