Formscan  - The Gay Blade continued his resurgence when completing a Carlisle double and isn't easily dismissed in his current fettle. That said, a 4lb penalty demands another career-best performance, with fellow hat-trick seeker GLORIOUS KITTY fancied to capitalise. The Easterbys' filly has really hit her stride of late and won't be inconvenienced by a return to this venue having scored here on her penultimate outing. Ashen and Black Storm are others of interest.
