'Comfortable C&D winner last time; 9lb rise may not be enough to prevent him following up'

'Three of his four starts this term have been good, including a C&D win; merits respect.'

'Second C&D win came in November; good third since then lesser effort last time.'

'Has two recent C&D wins to his name; needs to get back on track after two lesser efforts.'

'Cannot be relied upon but beat five of these when second over C&D last time.'

'Needs to make a big step forward from what he achieved in last month's C&D local debut.'

'Useful over 5f in Britain but much less good so far in Hong Kong; now tried in a visor.'

'Placed in one of three trial races; inexperience will count against him; may need further.'

'Newcomer; won over 5.5f in Australia; will probably need the run despite recent trial win.'

'Now 8lb higher than for latest C&D success in October but could sneak a place'

'Useful sort over this trip in Singapore; trial form suggests he may need the run today.'

'Needs to leave the form of his three local starts behind to be competitive here.'
