Verdict

Endeavor is in cracking form and won for the third time in four starts at Huntingdon nine days ago. Emma Sayer gets off him here to ride stablemate Front Rank however and, like recent C&D winner ALBA KING, he has a penalty to carry. Sue Smith's six-year-old probably has more scope and can follow up today with Jonathan England good value for his 10lb claim This may be on the sharp side for Amir Pasha, though he was second to Dr Flynn over C&D earlier this month and still makes more appeal than the out-of-form City Ground.
