Hong Kong Horse of the Year last season with two G1 wins, including the FWD QEII Cup (2000m) and Standard Chartered Champions & Chater Cup (2400m). A total of five G1 victories including this race two years ago. Returned as good as ever this term with two runner-up efforts in G3 Sa Sa Ladies’ Purse Handicap (1800m) and G2 Jockey Club Cup (2000m) latest. Best settled handy. No going issues.

G2 placed in South Africa pre-import. Opened his Hong Kong account in a Class 2 event over 1800m and then produced career-best when winning the G3 Queen Mother Memorial Cup Handicap over this distance, followed by a running-on second to Exultant in the G1 Standard Chartered Champions & Chater Cup (2400m). Likes to roll forward but has struggled in three runs this campaign. Best on good track but also won on yielding (soft) ground pre-import.
