Jockeys' championship leader Zac Purton can provide some new year cheer with two clear bankers in a jackpot-boosted Triple Trio at Wednesday's public holiday meeting at Sha Tin, reports the HK Racing Post.

The TT has been seeded with $19 million, which will create an estimated $29 million dividend and Purton's rides in the first and last legs have the look of likely standouts in their respective events.

Recent stable transferee Disciples Twelve kicks things off in the first leg, while Hey Cheers can continue his superb seasonal form in the anchor leg.

Paul O'Sullivan seemed to have Disciples Twelve headed in the right direction, but owners moved the five-year-old to Caspar Fownes and he hasn't wasted any time getting his new acquisition to the track. Disciples Twelve hasn't trialled for his new handler, after a encouraging run-on fourth on November 24 when still with O'Sullivan, and Purton was on at trackwork last week as they tuned the gelding up for this.

Disciples Twelve won his way straight out of Class Four with a debut victory that cost him nine points, and as many horses do, seemed to find the rapid ascension too much to take.

It's never been a question of ability for Disciples Twelve, he was strongly fancied on a number of occasions in Class Three, has also been desperately unlucky at times and at the start of this season battled lameness. It's taken the horse over a year to drop from 61 back down to 57 and with a decent draw here, four, against a moderate looking Class Four field over 1,200m, he can launch back into Class Three.

From the draw Purton won't have to be as far back as Douglas Whyte was last start on the gelding, a race where the leading group dominated.

He faces the winner from that race Addole (Tye Angland), this time eight pounds better off and with Addole also forced to work harder from gate 12.

Addole still goes in, along with well-drawn first-starter On The Way (Douglas Whyte) from the Dennis Yip Chor-hong stable.
