'Unlucky when heavily backed favourite over C&D last time; on a recovery mission.'

'Likely to try to make all; needs to refind his 'A' game after two recent flops.'

'Raised 7lb for his tidy C&D win two weeks ago; further progress is possible.'

'Newcomer; nothing special on breeding; won a recent trial after three poor trial runs.'

'All three career wins have been over C&D; may be a touch high in weights; place claims.'

'Back to his favourite C&D (three wins) and reasonably weight; one for the shortlist.'

'Has failed to reproduce promise of 2023 in three recent runs following a long absence.'

'Big outsider and has run accordingly on all three starts (all 6f); now tries blinkers.'

'Just 1lb higher than for C&D win a year ago; three good runs already this season.'

'Has not built on July's 6f Sha Tin win; needs to bounce back in no uncertain terms.'

'Has been highly disappointing since arrival from Australia, one C&D fourth apart.'

'Yet to make the top four in seven Hong Kong runs; slightly better efforts the last twice.'
