'Four C&D wins this year; went very close after finishing well last month; respected'

'Gave very good account when third here last month but has much tougher draw today'

'Went close over C&D in September and also ran well over 5f recently; likely contender'

'Placed on seasonal debut at Sha Tin but needs to bounce back from duff effort last month'

'Just held on for surprise C&D win in September but well held in this higher grade since'

'Triple C&D winner at end of last season; drawn wide today but further progress is possible'

'Back up to preferred trip after satisfactory 5f seasonal debut; current mark is workable'

'Has found things tough since upped to this grade and is drawn wide today'

'Ended last season in poor form and there has been no sign of a revival in recent weeks'

'Down the field on both outings this season and probably still too high in the weights'

'Out of sorts at end of last season and needs to have been revitalised by a break'

'Has inside draw today and will find this easier than 5f Group 3 he contested last month'
