Ryan Moore, Declan McDonogh, Richard Kingscote, Hollie Doyle and Tom Marquand have been granted jockeys' licences to ride in Hong Kong over the next few months.
Doyle and Marquand have both ridden winners in Hong Kong in recent seasons and will be available to ride at Sha Tin on Sunday 16 February and Happy Valley next Wednesday, 19 February.
Moore is set to be in attendance for meetings at Happy Valley (26 February and 5 March) as well as at Sha Tin (2 March) for Hong Kong Classic Cup race day.
Kingscote and McDonogh are both set to make their debuts in Hong Kong and will be in the territory for the longest periods, with Kingscote granted a six-week licence beginning next Wednesday (19 February) at Happy Valley, while McDonagh is free to ride from next Sunday's Sha Tin (23 February) meeting up until 2 April.
Regular Hong Kong riders Zac Purton, Vincent Ho, Keith Yeung and Angus Chung were all injured in an incident at Sha Tin last Sunday and have been ruled out of riding at the upcoming meetings.
Latest updates suggest Yeung could return in two to three weeks, while Purton and Chung both sustained fractures and it is thought they will be out for four to six weeks. Vincent Ho sustained a head injury and has been discharged from intensive care but it is not yet known how long the leading local rider will be out for.
