ENDEAVOR has just the one win in 16 attempts over fences but went close to adding to that when second at Cartmel a fortnight ago. He has little to beat in this and gets the nod. Forget And Forgive made a promising start over fences when second over track and trip and that looks stronger form than Solway Dornal's earlier placed efforts at Cartmel. Shine A Diamond and Moonlone Lane have shown little over fences so far.
