Bull's Eye can take the Cable & Wireless HKT Cup on this evening's Epsom Derby card at Sha Tin.

The Derby is simulcast live as the night's final event and it looks wide open following the late withdrawal of fancied 2,000 Guineas hero King's Best.

Apart from the attraction of the Epsom Derby, there is also the little matter of a $16 million Triple Trio jackpot which should see the final pool swell to over the $40-million mark.

It may even climb towards a healthy $50 million such is the leverage these jackpots exert these days.

Bull's Eye is fancied to win the sixth event which concludes the TT and, on that basis, looks a very solid banker. It is not stretching a point to far to say he can be regarded as a winner without a full penalty as he looked most unlucky to finish a head second to Solid Contact over 1,200 metres at Happy Valley last time.

He was closing all the way to the line, having lost at least a length when Douglas Whyte was forced to switch out and around No Money No Honey coming off the top bend.
