Episode makes his handicap debut and, with the chance of rain, could get involved. Manofthemoment must have every chance of completing the hat-trick and it’s probably about time Mere Anarchy was getting his head in front but PICTURE PAINTER looked to be coming to hand at Chepstow last month and may be capable of defying a 3lb rise. The handicapper has taken no chances with Granitic but two runs over hurdles suggest he does have ability and Seamus Mullins’ charge can’t be dismissed out of hand.
