Catterick Bridge Race 2 - Ebf Mdn Stakes (Gbb Race)
GOLD KEY (4) almost stole the race out front last time at Thirsk (1400m) providing first attempt at this journey. That represented a solid step forward from debut and is poised to go one better now. Wootton Bassett debutante OLYMPIACOS (6) represents the Charlie Johnston team. This expensive purchase is related to some decent talent in France and warrants a close look. RUPERT THE BRAVE (7) benefits bringing most experience after three starts. Beaten 1.75L third at Kempton (1400m) a fortnight ago. One to consider. MUHANDES (5) made a fair start when 1.75L fifth at Leicester (1400m) earlier this month. Enters the mix.
