2.15 Catterick Indian Champ 2pts each-way AND 2pts win @ 9/1 (Generally guaranteed)
Berland is a strong favourite here, but while he travelled well on his debut, I'm not sure how much aptitude he displayed for actually passing horses, and he didn't seem to do anything too quickly. He is the most likely winner here, but at 2/5 he is plenty short enough. If he merits his Group 2 entry, I don't see why he wasn't sent somewhere like Goodwood last week - why send him to Catterick?
La Estatua didn't pick up at all second time out which has to be a worry for the second favourite. Indian Champ is bred to be a two year old and has looked slowly progressive. His last two runs have been solid and it was noticeable he hung left all the way around Carlisle last time out. The switch to a left handed track which favours front runners is perfect for his style. The removal of the blinkers worn on his first three starts is an unknown, but they didn't seem to do him much good last time out and he hasn't looked temperamental. The stable 5lb claimer takes a handy allowance off his back and if the favourite fails to fire or is too green to do himself justice, Indian Champ might be the one to take advantage.
