Well beaten all starts to date and finished last over C&D last month; hard to fancy

Former C&D winner on a good mark but has not offered a great deal in recent starts

Out of sorts recently but the drop from Class 3 to Class 4 company makes him of interest
2 (5)	Our Lucky Glory Chestnut J:Andrea Atzeni T:Jamie Richards	J:Andrea Atzeni T:Jamie Richards	132	t	064067	57	80	-	21d	0W/1P 1 run	0W/1P 1 run	—	1.8	—	—
Dropping to an appealing-looking mark but has stamina to prove at this distance

0-9 in HK and no show on only start so far this term; has had fitness issues; opposable

Just 2lb higher than for April's win and latest C&D third was encouraging; considered

A Hong Kong maiden but latest C&D effort was encouraging; not ruled out from a handy draw
6 (12)	Concerto Chestnut J:L J Ferraris T:Jimmy Ting	J:L J Ferraris T:Jimmy Ting	129	t	851155	54	72	-	24d	—	—	—	9	—	—
Dual C&D winner in the summer and not disgraced from this mark since; wide draw the worry

Now 0-18 in HK but latest C&D third was encouraging; each-way claims from the same mark
