Grand Prize looks hard to tip out of the first three in the first leg of tomorrow's Happy Valley Triple Trio.

Brian Kan Ping-chee, the much-respected doyen of the local trainers, has his team in great form and stable jockey Jimmy Quinn is not to be underestimated on this type of horse.

Quinn was more than equal to the occasion on Floral Joy in the Millennium Cup and a double on the night will have done wonders for his confidence.

He can bounce Grand Prize out from barrier one and if he doesn't lead, he should get the perfect trail into the race. Grand Prize, just like Quinn, goes particularly well at the Valley and is ideally suited by the Class Four mile handicaps at the city venue.

Topweight Laser Pride should have been some 2.5 lengths closer last time and merits respect. His apprentice jockey, Roger Yu, is just about the best value in town and won't be long in losing his five-pound claim.

Cheerful will find the drop back into Class Four to his liking and could be a TT roughie.
