The lone three-year-old in the contest ASIAN ANGEL absolutely hacked up on his only previous visit here and after two runs to acclimatise to his now much higher handicap mark he is taken to strike again for the prolific Johnston team. Nicholas T is in a rich vein of form and most feared of the rivals although he is 0-14 beyond 1m. Third time out in 2019 might be the time to catch Glasses Up who is well treated on previous C&D efforts.
