Mike Smith runs three in this. Glasses Up is a course specialist and both Royal Regent and Tilsitt have also won over track and trip but the latter was behind when FIRST IMPRESSION failed to get a run in the race won by Yorkshire Lady here 12 days ago. Shine On Brendan was third at Redcar when trying this longer trip for the first time and he should again beat Cosmos Raj and Positive Force. Aussie Warrior has shown promise in novice and maiden company and looks the pick of the three-year-olds making his handicap debut.
