My Painter has only won once in 33 outings on the Flat and Frankster is another with a poor strike rate though is unexposed on the all-weather. Black Star Dancing is back up in trip today despite a better effort over a mile at Ayr last week while Rock Up In Style finished closer at Bath having plummeted down the weights since switching yards last year. PHOENIX STRIKE returned to action with a third in classified company at Ayr. This is tougher but there may be more to come handicapping for the first time in a weak contest.
