Sha Tin debut; a winner on just his second start when scoring narrowly over at Happy Valley (6f) in January; no better than midfield in two subsequent runs from adjusted mark but now steps up in trip with useful apprentice taking off 10lb; not dismissed.

Form & Verdict

Struck twice over C&D last term but has struggled for form in recent months; consequently finds himself just 2lb above his last winning mark but a leap of faith required to lend him any support based on recent evidence.

Form & Verdict

Pedigree suggests that this trip will be on the sharp side and appeared to be badly in need of the experience when always towards the rear on last month's debut at Happy Valley (6f, good); looks a longer-term project.

Form & Verdict

A winner over this trip in France but is still seeking a breakthrough after 15 runs in Hong Kong; has spent most of this season at 6f, without much joy, but made no impression returned to this distance on his last start; best to look elsewhere.
