Blinkered for 1st time, won 16-runner handicap at Carlisle (5.8f, good to soft, 14/1) 5 days ago, driven out. Carries penalty. Heading back in the right direction recently.

3 wins from 13 runs this year. Latest win at Hamilton in July. 11/1, creditable 2 lengths third of 16 to Agnes Grey in handicap at Carlisle (5.8f, good to soft) 5 days ago. Benefits from swing at weights this time and has to be shortlisted.

4/1, sixth of 7 in handicap at Leicester (6f, good to firm) 47 days ago. Back to a potentially lenient mark if able to put his best foot forward.

C&D winner here in July. 6/1, reverted to slow starting ways when eighth of 11 in handicap at Redcar (6f, good to firm) 47 days ago. That issue remains a concern but not fully discounted nonetheless.

Not seen to best effect when fourth of 8 in handicap (5/1) at Newcastle (5f) 4 days ago, lacking clear run over 1f out. Remains on last winning mark and isn't fully ruled out.

C&D winner here in August. 9/2, eighth of 9 in handicap at Goodwood (6f, good) 24 days ago. Back in a more realistic grade here and can give a good account.

100/1
Fifteen runs since last win in 2023. Weakened only late on comeback from lengthy absence when eighth of 11 in handicap at Redcar (6f, good to firm, 66/1) 23 days ago. Should be sharper now but others are still preferred.

Verdict

THE GAY BLADE finished behind Agnes Grey at Carlisle last week but now benefits from a swing at the weights with that rival penalised and he can notch his fourth win of this season. Agnes Grey arrives at the top of her game and has to be highly respected herseld, whilst Calafrio won a similar contest here the previous month and completes the shortlist.
