2:15 Catterick Tips

This probably isn't going to be straight forward for the jolly, but WAAKABB gave a promising display on debut at Wolves last month and can build on that with the switch to turf today. The son of New Bay finished 3l 3rd of 12 in a C3 maiden that day, with an 11/1 stablemate of Waakabb nosing out the favourite, and the 4th has since gone on to win NTO at Thirsk in a similar contest. The Crisford's have got their 2yo's down to a tee this year (47% SR, A/E 1.54) so I'm fully expecting a step forward from their charge and NB's huge 71% SR (A/E 1.63) with 2yo favourites in novice sprints boosts claims. 6/4 taken.

National Pride was down the field on debut at Ascot, should be sharper second time out and the trainer makes the journey North to Catterick, where they have a great record. Trainer has a 46% strike rate here and with juveniles, has a 50% strike rate.

Palace Legacy was running on well down the outside into a closing 3rd at the finish in his first run at Epsom and any improvement should see him win at Catterick.

Making racecourse debut so no form to wax lyrical about . S.Bin.Suroor doesn't have too many in his yard nowadays so always take not of his runners & he's sent out 2 winners from last 4 saddled . Tip is out of Dark Angel & mare a 10-12f type so 7f maybe but sharp but could surprise on debut & interesting why trainer has sent this one all the way up the A1 .

A La Montagne looks an interesting each-way proposition at rewarding odds. This contest appears well within reach if reproducing recent form, and a strong pace should suit. With a clear run in the closing stages, this runner has every chance of hitting the frame and possibly going one better.

A newcomer closely relate to Jacqueline Quest a demoted 1000 guineas winner, is in good hands of the Easterby yard, no debut winners thus far this year which may be an omen.
