Catterick Bridge Race 1 - Army Benevolent Fund/Ebf Novice Stakes (Gbb Race)
An intriguing contest dominated by Newmarket raiders. WAAKABB (6) gets the narrow verdict having kept on for a 3L third providing opening start on the all-weather three weeks ago (1400m). Will take plenty from that experience. PALACE LEGACY (4) appeared to get the message late when 1.75L back in third of five at Epsom tackling this trip nineteen days ago. Looks sure to feature. STORMY WINTER (5) is a Dark Angel colt making racecourse debut for the Saeed Bin Suroor stable whose newcomers are always worthy of respect. Monitor the market. A LA MONTAGNE (7) is notably the first foal out of Arc hero Alpinista. Exciting prospect who could improve with time.

First-starter by Dark Angel out of Ruby Power. By leading sire Dark Angel so may be worth following later on.

Was well-supported at debut, sat on the pace when 3rd of 12 at Wolverhampton on July 14 over 1400m, 3 len behind La Fuerza carrying 60.5kg at $2.90. Better for that run and can go on with it.
