Forecasts

Masterpainter (15/8), Love Fifteen (9/2), Leap Year Lad (9/2), Vondelpark (5/1), Valstar (5/1), Beechwood Mick (7/1), Roll It In Glitter (8/1), Iato's Angel (10/1), Racing Demon (18/1)

MASTERPAINTER still looked a work in progress when getting off the mark at Thirsk so is taken to defy a 4 lb rise in the weights here. Beechwood Mick wasn't seen to best effect when third at Yarmouth and rates the chief threat ahead of the in-form duo Leap Year Lad and Valstar.
