Former Horse of the Year; six-time Gr.1 winner, including twice in this race, among ten victories at the C&D; also set a track record here in 2008. Encouraging form for new stable with an almost identical preparation leading to last year’s win. Bids for a place in history - no horse has won at this meeting three times. Races held up; best on fast ground.

Second highest-rated horse in HK on official rating; 3rd in this race last term when he also made all to take the Queen’s Silver Jubilee Cup and was only just denied by rival Sight Winner in the Champions Mile. Successful on debut this term but followed up a sub-par barrier trial with a fair 5th in the CX Int’l Mile Trial; best when leading on good ground or quicker.

Top class on his day; made all to win the 2007 Champions Mile and runner-up to Good Ba Ba in this 12 months ago. Limited appearances in recent times owing to stress fractures to off-fore and off-hind legs but two respectable runs this term even if had every chance to at least place in CX Int’l Mile Trial; better than mid-div; no ground issues.

One of the best Australian milers of recent times, racking up five Gr.1 wins from 1400m to 1600m; less prolific nowadays though there was plenty to like when he carried top weight to win the Theo Marks in September, his sole win in five starts this compaign. Still, he needs to rekindle the Gr.1 spark on first overseas foray; no ground worries; settles behind mid-div.

Consistent Group performer in France up to 2000m; five Listed wins and one apiece at Gr.2 and Gr.3 level; ran 2nd in sole Gr.1 attempt earlier this year; worth noting that he ran 7th some 4Ls behind rival Pressing on one of only two runs outside France in Turkey in 2008 on fast ground; races prominently; prefers some give underfoot and also seems better left-handed.

Exciting prospect making his Gr.1 and 1600m debut; rapidly rose through the classes last term; much better again this campaign winning both Sha Tin Sprint Trophy and CX Int’l Sprint Trial (latter very impressively); some surprise, then, that he has rerouted to this race but there’s no denying his class; likely to settle around midfield; no ground issues.

Eight-times Group race winner; no excuse when 10th beaten over 7Ls in this race a year ago; has had a near-identical prep in 2009, winning Bayerisches Zuchtrennen (2nd last year) and again capturing Europe’s richest mile race in Turkey before placing in a Gr.2 in Italy (won it last year). No ground issues; will likely race forward of midfield.

Surprise winner of the Champions Mile last term but has proven it was far from a one-off with a solid 6th in the Yasuda Kinen in June. Inched higher in the ratings most recently thanks to a good 2nd to Mile rival Fellowship (rec.5lbs) in the CX Int’l Mile Trial. He performs best when ridden close to the pace and no ground concerns.

A fine 3rd in Dubai Duty Free at 40/1 but no real threat when 7th in an on-pace Champions Mile last April; unlucky nose 2nd in Gr.1 Lockinge Stakes (jockey lost whip 200m out); finished lame at Royal Ascot so gained a confidence boost in a conditions race on return; settles around midfield; no ground issues. Stable commands respect.

Winner of his last three starts, two at Listed and last time in the Gr.3 Joel Stakes when making virtually all very gamely; steps up to the highest level for the first time here but he is fast improving and trainer’s runners cannot be ignored; has been wearing earplugs in England; no ground concerns; races to the fore.

High class sprinter-miler; arrives here with recent Gr.2 and Gr.3 wins over 1400m but of some concern that he has unplaced in all three Gr.1 attempts; the last time he tackled this 1600m distance, in August last year, he beat the now HK-based Mr Medici in a Listed event, one of four wins at that level. Leads or races prominently; best on fast ground.

Gained a deserved success after some excellent efforts in defeat during 2008/09 when winning the CX Int’l Mile Trial latest; however, he received 5lbs from rivals Sight Winner and Good Ba Ba on the latter occasion so another personal best will be required if he is to follow up here. Settles just behind midfield and has no concerns with the ground.

Gr.3 winning miler in Ireland last year before switching to California where he has recorded two wins from 12 runs, chiefly a Gr.2 over 1600m at Del Mar. No disgrace when 2nd to top class mare Ventura next in Canada but never competitive from off the pace and wide in the Breeders’ Cup Mile last time; races held up; no ground trouble.

Massive leap from Listed standard performer to nearly landing Prix de la Foret at 60/1 when the brilliant Goldikova (rated 130) was half a length behind in third despite racing just as close as this filly to a very fast pace. Needs to prove that result was not a one-off but deserves the benefit of the doubt; untried on fast ground; varies racing patterns.
