Reckless Endeavour has been winning at Dundalk and debuts for Jamie Osborne on his first start since September. Leo Minor is another import from Ireland having won for Aidan O’Brien at Naas last year but Cartographer remains 9lb higher than when scoring at Newmarket during the summer. Double Up returns to action for his first start since May but his best form has been over 5f and OUT DO is preferred. The latter won this back in 2014 and a recent third in Listed company at Lingfield, when ahead of Intisaab, suggests David O’Meara’s sprinter can go in again.
