In depth
Verdict
Sandra's Secret won over the minimum trip at Newcastle in October and Bernie's Boy scored over 7f at Wolverhampton last month. Dutiful Son landed a claimer over track and trip at the start of the year but Tavener has struggled off higher marks since winning at Wolverhampton. Tundra has only won a maiden race so far so BUCCANEERS VAULT (NAP) gets the vote with a recent outing at Newcastle under his belt having won a higher grade sprint over today’s trip at Doncaster last year.
