Verdict
Catterick specialists are always worth following and the vote is given to topweight Tourmalet. She was left badly at the start last time out and still managed to finish third to Zingari last time out. the Berry team seem to be performing better of late and she is given the TEAMtalk nod. Clocking Off has been consistent in nurseries and a win would not be out of turn. Lee Enstone's five pounds will prove invaluable here. Flighty Fellow is drawn alongside and similar comments apply. Of the remainder, Burmese Princess could go well if she takes to the track. Avondale Lad will be popular in the market but improvement is needed on his victory in selling grade.
