HARRY ANGEL and Tasleet are set to do battle once again and it's the former who is preferred despite having to carry a penalty. 2017's Champion Sprinter was undone by tacky ground at Ascot when last seen but he's worthy of plenty of respect down in class on a faster surface here. Tasleet is respected in his bid for back-to-back renewals and gets a useful 7lb swing in the weights for his 4L defeat in the Sprint Cup at Haydock in September. Brando got the better of Sir Dancealot last time out and is taken to confirm those placings and finish in the first three.
