Noble Endeavor gained a shock victory in a Leopardstown bumper before a fair effort on his hurdling debut at Fairyhouse. Bless N' Ject was attempting to concede 11lb to Pairofbrowneyes when beaten a neck at Fairyhouse but has a penalty for a bumper success almost three years ago. RED FLIGHT had Spa Hill nine lengths behind when they occupied the places in the race won by Gambling Girl at Gowran in October. The latter has made the greater progress but the former should again have his measure on the same terms and her light weight is a bonus in these conditions so she's given the nod.
