Successful over 1m55y off a 2lb lower mark here in June; four modest efforts since then and today's big drop in distance is unlikely to be in his favour.

Has largely struggled in Class 3 since landing a similar event in July but responded well to return to Class 4 with a C&D 1.75l third a fortnight ago and is 1lb lower here.

Raised 6lb for a short head win on his second career start in June (6f, Sha Tin); that form has worked out well but he has been absent since and modest recent trial efforts call into question his current fitness.

1.5
Dual Irish 5f winner who twice ran well over 6f at Sha Tin back in January; all six subsequent runs have been poor and is held by Flow Water Flow on recent C&D form.

His last two efforts have been rather tame after starting the season with a win and a second (both 7f at Sha Tin); needs this drop in trip to prompt a revival.

Had two of these rivals well behind when staying on well late to go down by a nose as a 25-1 shot over C&D on last month's debut; likely to be all the better for that run; big player.

Posted back-to-back C&D wins a year ago before running well in just two of his seven subsequent starts; absent since July (had colic surgery in September) but has always gone well off a long break in the past so still merits consideration.

5.5
Triple C&D scorer who has won just one of his last 24 starts but is down to a good mark as a result and failed by the narrowest of margins over C&D three weeks ago.

Ended last season in good heart (two C&D victories) but is yet to run up to that form in three outings this term; needs to raise his game.

No suggestion from just two runs two date (both over this trip at odds of 85-1 or bigger) that he will be capable of taking a hand in the finish today.

1.5
Has run creditably in three starts to date (all over 6f) without ever finishing within 2l of the winner; possible that a nine-week lay-off will have freshened him.

Inconsistent and may be ideally suited by 7f but a repetition of either of his two recent placed efforts would see him involved in the finish again here.

Poorly drawn and has yet ton finish in the top eight but has won a pair of trials since his last outing eight weeks ago and this drop back from 1m could see him in a new light.

Front-runner with a good draw here but there is little else to be positive about given that he has started at 40-1 or longer and been beaten by 4.75l or more in all six starts thus far.
