Ticks The Boxes has just the one win at Southwell to his name since 2014 but has every chance on these terms. Maiden winner Semana Santa also comes into the reckoning at the weights but a chance is taken on the less exposed three-year-old ENDEAVOUR taking advantage of the drop in class and the Hannon charge gets the vote. The veteran Compton Park also faces an easier task on his reappearance as he attempts to end a long losing run.
