'Looked more of a sprinter prior to C&D 3.5l third last time; 1lb lower today.'

'Hard to fancy following four unremarkable midfield finishes to start his career.'

'Out of form; now 12lb lower than when 2l runner-up over C&D on Boxing Day.'

'Yet to win in nine tries; four placed efforts prior to modest runs the last twice.'

'One a very long losing runs despite numerous fair efforts; probably needs a shorter trip.'

'Must have a big chance after a sequence of fine C&D runs, including when second last time.'

'19-race maiden; reasonaby treated at the weights but all of his best form is at 6f.'

'Progressive three-time C&D winner whose late-running style means that he needs some luck.'

'Off colour in recent months but well handicapped; Purton up for the first time this year.'

'Inconsistent but has a C&D win off a 5lb higher mark so cannot be taken lightly.'

'Not obviously well handicapped; twice a C&D scorer; fair fourth in higher grade last time.'

'Handy in Ireland; yet to make the top eight in seven runs since arriving in Hong Kong.'
