All wins (two Ireland, one Hong Kong) have come over further; poor recent form; reserve.
R14 (14)	Zetta Force Bay J:TBC T:T P Yung	J: T:T P Yung	124	b	57-9	48	74	-	40d	—	—	—	0	—	—
Has failed to progress in two runs since encouraging C&D debut; reserve.
1 (10)	Fortune Whiskey Bay J:Matthew Poon T:David Eustace	J:Matthew Poon T:David Eustace	135	tb	4-1316	59	70	-	21d	0W/0P 1 run	0W/0P 1 run	—	2.3	—	—
Leading candidate following two C&D wins this year; only sixth off this mark last time.
2 (3)	Giant Leap Chestnut J:Hugh Bowman T:P F Yiu	J:Hugh Bowman T:P F Yiu	135	b	05-780	59	74	-	21d	0W/1P 1 run	0W/1P 1 run	—	2.3	—	—
Back down to Class 4 (won two similar C&D events last term); recent form is moderate.
3 (4)	Karate Express Bay J:James Orman T:K W Lui	J:James Orman T:K W Lui	135	—	129-76	59	78	-	21d	—	—	—	2.3	—	—
Began his career well last summer; three lesser efforts since return from six months off.
4 (6)	Von Baer Bay J:Ben E Thompson T:David A Hayes	J:Ben E Thompson T:David A Hayes	134	—	-90009	58	73	-	14d	—	—	—	2	—	—
Has had five quickfire runs; little suggestion yet of a return to his decent British form.
5 (8)	Champion Method Bay J:Andrea Atzeni T:C S Shum	J:Andrea Atzeni T:C S Shum	129	b	10-238	53	76	-	7d	—	—	—	0.8	—	—
Twice placed over 5f this year; stays 6f; chance if latest run (wide draw) is ignored.
6 (12)	King Alloy b/br J:Richard Kingscote T:Jimmy Ting	J:Richard Kingscote T:Jimmy Ting	128	—	8	52	59	-	31d	—	—	—	0.5	—	—
No great promise as a 29-1 chance on his 5f debut; this extra furlong may help.
7 (5)	Mr Cool Brown J:Karis Teetan T:F C Lor	J:Karis Teetan T:F C Lor	128	t	—	52	-	-	—	—	—	—	0.5	—	—
Debutant who has won two of his four trials; market support would be significant.
8 (1)	E Universe b/br J:K De Melo T:C Fownes	J:K De Melo T:C Fownes	125	t	989-94	49	77	-	7d	—	—	—	0	—	—
Down to a lower mark than for both his C&D wins; back to form with C&D fourth last time.
9 (7)	Glory B Bay J:Lyle Hewitson T:Douglas Whyte	J:Lyle Hewitson T:Douglas Whyte	124	p	052-71	48	74	-	35d	—	—	—	0	—	—
Breakthrough win came off 6lb lower five weeks ago (this C&D); bidding to follow up.
10 (2)	Tactical Command Bay J:Alexis Badel T:Mark Newnham	J:Alexis Badel T:Mark Newnham	124	b	69-031	48	72	-	21d	0W/0P 1 run	0W/0P 1 run	—	0	—	—
Upped 5lb for a recend C&D head success; needs a new career-best for victory here.
11 (9)	Run Run Timing Bay J:Harry Bentley T:C H Yip	J:Harry Bentley T:C H Yip	123	tb	79-866	47	75	-	10d	—	—	—	0	—	—
Seven modest efforts so far this term; is on a decent mark if he were to return to form.
12 (11)	Spicy So Smart Bay J:Matthew Chadwick T:W K Mo	J:Matthew Chadwick T:W K Mo	118	tv	0130-9	42	73	-	56d	—	—	—	0	—	—
Trailblazer; returning from two months off; fairly treated on his best form; drawn wide.
