Verdict

Shatin Hero gets the vote but also consider Its Ecco Boy, Mon Secret, Glenrock and, possibly, Fabrian and Animal Lover. Going through the runners. Vijay keeps knocking at the door but has never won over this trip. All of Game Guru's wins have come at Southwell. Fabrian could run well on his first try on the surface as a mile seemed to stretch him on Turf last time. Its Ecco Boy has some solid placed efforts to his name and you could certainly make a good case for Glenrock based on his best form on Turf and here, while Mr Stylish has a right to be considered effective at this level, there are, after all, only seven pounds separating the top and bottom weights on official ratings. The Ireland-based Animal Lover has won over the trip and has to be given due consideration, while Shatin Hero has been dropped a couple of pounds for finishing second to Lakota Brave over a mile here on November 10 reads well with the form having been franked. This leaves Mon Secret, who has won at Southwell and who scored from a mark of 52 (rated 55 here) at Leicester on October 13. That too gives him chances, but we'll stick with Shatin Hero.
