All five wins have come on left-handed tracks but hard to rule out after latest second

First handicap of any nature and, while apparently not thrown in, should give good account
5	Sword Of Fate Bay J:Brian Hughes T:Leonard Kerr	J:Brian Hughes T:Leonard Kerr	147	—	412-28	105	133	116	11d	—	—	+3	18.2	0.75/1	4 25%
Has form at Cartmel so his run there 11 days ago was disappointing

Put in a good shift to finish a close second of five runners at Kelso last time

Getting back on drier ground is a major plus and he won this last year off a similar mark
