Catterick Bridge Race 2 - Racing Welfare Supporting Mental Health Awareness Restricted Novice Stakes (GBB Race)
SANDY CRAIC (10) brings most experience after five outings. Third beaten 1.25L at Southwell (1200m) last time while peak juvenile effort was a second placing at York tackling this trip. Top selection. BIG SHOT VETO (5) showed good speed when making most in a pair of 1400m maidens last autumn. Set to improve on third start. VEGA STORM (2) placed third twice trying 1200m this spring. Didn't necessarily progress between outings but showed enough to suggest a challenge is possible. HIGHLAND SHAH (6) and LIGHTENING LAD (7) each indicated ability across two outings at Newcastle late last year. Could contend.
