Resumed with a sound third at this track, picking up nicely late under 61kg and finishing beaten two lengths by Ace Champion. His previous seventh behind Wings Of War was less effective after being crowded early, but he was favourite that day and the market clearly held him in regard. Proven at this track and distance, so he rates a strong winning chance.

Had a clear excuse first-up when caught wide without cover before being checked late, finishing last behind Ace Champion after being near the top of an open market. That run is better assessed through the interference than the margin. Prior Sha Tin win was strong, and he can bounce back sharply.

Returns from a one-month freshening after finishing tenth at Sha Tin, beaten just over six lengths by Jumbo Treasure after settling midfield and fading late. He was also tenth two back behind Mr Incredible, though he was held up early in the straight. Can't have.

Returns from a four-month break after ending last campaign with a tenth at this track, beaten three lengths by Jumbo Treasure when not fully tested late behind rivals. He had been fourth here the run prior, beaten just under a length by Power Koepp, which reads better. Looking elsewhere.

Was safely held at Sha Tin last start when eighth, beaten just over four lengths by Lucy In The Sky after being crowded early and lacking the sprint to challenge. His previous third at this venue behind Harmony N Blessed was much better, especially after having to wait for a run turning in. Distance record keeps him in the minor-money mix.

Returned in excellent order to win at this track, settling prominently before taking over 200m out and holding Daryl Flash by half a length. That followed a Class 4 win at Sha Tin, where he beat Spirited Steed as a well-regarded runner in the market. Claim helps, rider knows him, and the winning run can continue.

Comes in on a six-day turnaround after a close fifth at Sha Tin, beaten just under two lengths by Absolute Heart at outside odds. Two back he ran third behind Jumbo Treasure, making strong late ground to take a place. Quick back-up is the main query for win purposes.

Was second last first-up over 1000m at this track, beaten six lengths by Dancing Classics after beginning awkwardly and making no impression late. His previous run was also plain, finishing last behind Wings Of War by more than 12 lengths. Needs to improve.

Made a strong return at this track, winning a Class 4 by a length and a half as favourite after controlling the race and putting a margin on them turning in. He had also won over this course and distance two back, so the current form is reliable rather than isolated. Current form is strong and he is the one to beat.

Returns from a four-month break after ending last campaign last at this track, beaten just over five lengths by Jumbo Treasure when settling rearward and failing to run on. His Cork second behind Falls Of Acharn is older overseas form and sits in the background rather than driving the assessment. Has placed at 1200m, but the Happy Valley evidence is limited.

Has been fair without threatening in two runs this campaign, most recently sixth at this venue behind Danica's Choice, beaten just under three lengths at big odds. He was eighth behind Ace Champion two back after settling rearward and only finishing off evenly. Hard to be with him on recent form.

Returns from a four-month break after finishing tenth at Sha Tin, beaten just over five lengths by Sovereign Fund when making no impression late. He had been beaten over 11 lengths by Chill Easy at the run prior, so the exposed recent form is modest. Others appeal more.
