David Probert is the latest British-based rider to be granted a licence to ride in Hong Kong.
The Welshman has been given a part-season jockey's licence which runs from July 17 to February 17, 2026.
The 37-year-old Probert, who has won 1,678 wins across the UK, France, Germany, Italy, and the UAE, will join Andrea Atzeni and Harry Bentley, who have committed to riding full-time in Hong Kong. It was also recently announced that Derby-winning jockey Richard Kingscote has been given a part-season licence for 2025/26.
The new Hong Kong racing season begins at Sha Tin on September 7.
