Reckless Endeavour finished in front of Ascot Day when third here a fortnight ago. But he’d earlier finished behind Kasbah when the latter was placed at Lingfield. Eljaddaaf has been threatening to score at Kempton and Espresso Freddo has been running well over 7f here recently. Nautical Haven has placed in lower grade sprints the last twice but INTRANSIGENT went close over 6f at Kempton in between modest efforts over further and Andrew Balding’s charge should make a bold bid in this.
