Verdict
Endeavor has won 10 times over hurdles but only once over fences, though did beat Some Lad by nine lengths on that occasion at Kelso 18 months ago. Molko Jack won over course and distance in May but couldn't follow up off today's mark at Southwell. Shine A Diamond is still a maiden under Rules but may have been a bit unlucky at Perth last month. We'll take a chance on MILAN ROYALE who, like Zazamix, hasn't shown much in his last few but is back on a fair mark and could stay on too strongly for these if in the mood.
