Wolverhampton Tips: Tavener

Wolverhampton Tips: Tavener

Finished fourth in a strong race for the grade last time and is better than a rating of 56.

Tavener only has 1 win in 26 starts but he’s only been with David Griffiths since late October and he was well backed last time at Lingfield.

The money made sense because he’d run well on his penultimate start at Chelmsford but unfortunately backers couldn’t foresee what a strong race he ended up in.


The 6f sprint won by Spirit Of Zebedee was a good race for the grade, the overall time was quick and that is despite a steady early gallop. I gave the first six home adjusted speed ratings above their handicaps marks and all are worth noting next time out.

Tavener had to make his challenge wider than ideal buy he clocked a useful 22.09s sectional and earned a speed rating of 69. He should be winning off a mark of 56 and although Finley March is an inexperienced 7lbs claimer, he’s won for David Griffiths before.

1pt Tavener to win 18/1 with William Hill
