Paint The Star may well have beaten Hundi at Salisbury had she not wandered under pressure. She's no world-beater but shouldn't be far away again here. DIAMOND BLAISE could be forgiven her run at Newbury, however, as she possibly had the worst of the draw. She'd run well on her debut at the Berkshire track and can make it third-time lucky in this. Falsify has been making steady progress on the all-weather but is best watched here, as is newcomer Epping Forest.
