Tim Easterby looks to hold a strong hand in this finale. Kenny The Captain hasn’t won in almost two years but can’t get much lower in the weights while Shortbackandsides is back on the same mark as when only beaten a head at Haydock in June. B Fifty Two is invariably thereabouts in races of this type and a case can also be made for Rickyroadboy. Mansfield won one of these at Redcar in May and is only 2lb higher but BUCCANEERS VAULT has more class than these and the top weight could profit from the 5lb claim of Eireann Cagney if a run at Ripon on Tuesday hasn’t blunted the edges.
