Endeavor made up some late ground on the winner CLAUDE CARTER (NAP) over track and trip earlier this month. But not enough to suggest he can turn the tables with Alistair Whillans' charge and the latter can go in again dropping down a grade. De Chissler is another recent winner and he should be thereabouts raised 5lb for winning at Ayr while Urban Kode is back on a winning mark, but finished well behind the selection last time. Seaside Rock returned to action with a decent effort on the Flat and may improve on his previous modest efforts over timber.
