'Back in good form this year, winning over C&D before a solid third off today's mark'

'Runner-up twice over C&D in recent months; drawn wide today but still respected'

'Placed at Sha Tin on last two outings (6f/7f) but dealt a duff hand draw-wise today'

'Found 5f too sharp last time but ran well from the front when third over C&D two runs ago'

'Latest run hinted at a possible return to form but he's drawn wide today; others preferred'

'Seven-race maiden; has the plum inside draw today but is not an easy one to predict'

'3-3 as a 2yo in Italy and has made the frame over C&D on the last two of his four HK runs'

'Low-mileage 4yo; C&D winner in November and also ran well when second last month'

'Denied clear run when sixth over C&D last time; a possible if boosted by headgear switch'

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

'Sound effort when sixth over C&D last month but has now been unplaced all 11 starts'

'Always towards rear over C&D on last month's debut; probably one for further down the line'
