Dual C&D winner; ran well in defeat in higher grade this year and can make presence felt
R14 (14)	Bear Slam Bay J:TBC T:C W Chang	J: T:C W Chang	132	—	0001-3	56	61	-	31d	—	—	—	4.5	—	—
1m winner; respected in current mood but not certain to be suited by this drop in distance
1 (5)	Telecom Speed Chestnut J:Angus Chung(5) T:Y S Tsui	J:Angus Chung(5) T:Y S Tsui	135	—	46-014	59	75	-	21d	—	—	—	2.3	—	—
Raised 9lb for January's comfortable C&D win but revised mark doesn't look beyond him
2 (9)	Scotch Tycoon Bay J:L J Ferraris T:Mark Newnham	J:L J Ferraris T:Mark Newnham	133	b	19-905	57	73	-	21d	—	—	—	1.8	—	—
Made all over C&D in November but has not hit those heights since

Started the season in fine form, with a C&D win and two second placings; safely held since
4 (8)	Glory Cloud Bay J:Harry Bentley T:C Fownes	J:Harry Bentley T:C Fownes	128	t	74	52	72	-	28d	—	—	—	0.5	—	—
Showed the benefit of his debut when running an eye-catching race over C&D four weeks ago
5 (7)	Molly's Witness Bay J:Antoine Hamelin T:Jamie Richards	J:Antoine Hamelin T:Jamie Richards	128	et	—	52	51	-	34d	—	—	—	0.5	—	—
Quietly fancied for last month's debut after showing trial promise but finished last
6 (10)	Bravo Warrior Bay J:Ben E Thompson T:W Y So	J:Ben E Thompson T:W Y So	126	t	00	50	64	-	28d	—	—	—	0	—	—
Displayed promise in trials but has yet to bring that form to the racecourse
7 (11)	Falcon Court b/br J:L Hewitson T:David A Hayes	J:L Hewitson T:David A Hayes	124	t	0-07	48	69	-	21d	—	—	—	0	—	—
Little to enthuse about in three starts to date over 5f but this trip should suit better
8 (6)	Speedy Chariot Bay J:Matthew Chadwick T:Douglas Whyte	J:Matthew Chadwick T:Douglas Whyte	124	tb	5240-0	48	76	-	70d	—	—	—	0	—	—
Ended last season in good form and should strip fitter today; first-time blinkers
9 (1)	Tattenham Bay J:Andrea Atzeni T:P C Ng	J:Andrea Atzeni T:P C Ng	124	p	806-74	48	78	-	42d	—	—	—	0	—	—
Just 1lb higher than when springing a 74-1 surprise here in October; one for the shortlist
10 (12)	Golden Link Bay J:K C Leung T:P F Yiu	J:K C Leung T:P F Yiu	123	—	07-006	47	77	-	21d	—	—	—	0	—	—
Only lost out by a neck over C&D in October but downhill since; without a win since 2021
11 (3)	High Percentage Chestnut J:Zac Purton T:T P Yung	J:Zac Purton T:T P Yung	121	t	577-87	45	76	-	49d	—	—	—	0	—	—
0-10 but certainly has the ability to compete at this level with Zac Purton back on board
12 (2)	Hero Star b/br J:Matthew Poon(2) T:K L Man	J:Matthew Poon(2) T:K L Man	117	t	99-785	40	73	-	14d	—	—	—	0	—	—
Four-time C&D winner; not firing on all cylinders in recent months but looks well treated
