Winning has proved a difficult habit to get into though MARKHESA ran well at Epsom recently and could be worth a wager under a solid seven pound claimer. Smart Endeavour is tried in a visor for the first time and has finally been dropped down the weights by the assessor. With Walter Swinburn back amongst the winners, any move in the betting ring should be noted. Three Ducks would be a factor if he learns how to settle early in his races whilst Gallego and Recalcitrant are hardy old veterans that tend to win races in their turn.
