      Verdict

      Very few three-year-olds run in this and none have won in the past 11 years but the very progressive Bye Bye Hong Kong made all and just held on from Oh This Is Us in a Listed race at Windsor and can confirm the form on just 1lb worse terms. Mordin ended the last campaign with a superb effort in the Cambridgeshire and looked better than ever on his reappearance at Haydock. He can prove a threat to ZAAKI, who beat the smart Barney Roy in Listed company at Ascot a month ago and looks the one to beat on that form as Master The World's best recent efforts have been on Polytrack.
