Today’s tip comes from Catterick where Stuart Bowring takes one of his well respected 3-y-olds on a rare trip up north. Despite FIRST BLADE’s wins coming against his own age group, he is a distance winner, handles slow ground, and is unexposed on turf. The way he ran on at Nottingham, when only 1lb lighter, suggested he is handicapped to have a chance here. Amir Quinn has partnered him to a win before and a whisper from the Bowring stable suggests to us that this horse is likely to be far overpriced.
