In depth

Verdict

There looks more to come from TWO TRIBES having made a winning handicap debut at Sandown and beating Call Glory in the process. Grey Gray has been winning lower grade contests, including over track and trip last time, and Cuban Secret has come up short in nurseries so far but dual novice winner Sankari goes handicapping for the first time.
