1:10 Catterick Tips

The trainer has some nice chances today here, but this looks to be the best one. Tripvand is ground and perfect. Big chance in this.

North West Gal is a daughter of Territories, a pedigree that can bring soft ground to the fore. This one's progeny can act well on this, which can see this filly having plenty of interest in this race. With a result appearing after a first run at Leicester, being third, she could have learned from it.

Race 1 at Catterick today is a Maiden (Class 5) over 1,006 m Flat Race for 2-year-olds. The reported going is Soft, and the suggested wager is for the straight win on the 2-year-old filly Control Room from the Robert Cowell yard. She will be ridden by George Wood. This daughter of Land Force has had three starts to date, and she caught the eye in her latest run, which was her first turf run. Three positives: her last run was her first over this distance, jockey Wood rode her last time out, and she improved greatly with her turf debut. She should be a major player in this field, no doubt.

Havana Song had only 2 starts so far, finishing 8th in a Class 4 Novice Stakes and 7th in a Class 4 Maiden Stakes. So now, dropped in class and with a little improvement, could win at a big price.
