Overview

• Voyage Bubble aims to become the first horse in over two decades to complete Hong Kong's Triple Crown after victories in the Stewards’ Cup and Hong Kong Gold Cup.
• Dubai Honour, trained by William Haggas, is the sole international challenger and brings proven stamina over the 1m4f distance, with recent Group One wins in Australia and France.
• Jockey Tom Marquand believes Dubai Honour’s career-best form and ability to thrive on travel give him a strong chance to upset the local favorite.
• Stamina is a key question for Voyage Bubble, who will race over a mile-and-a-half for the first time, with jockey James McDonald expected to dictate the early pace from a favorable draw.
• Ensued, ridden by Zac Purton, is considered an outside contender with proven endurance over the distance, but the race’s outcome may hinge on tactical decisions and early pace.
