Endless Summer looks to have a great chance in this moderate claimer and he can get the better of Phinerine and Blakeshall Quest. Tony Carroll's nine-year-old hasn't won for eighteen months but this does look his easiest task for some time. He put in a decent effort last time behind Franksalot and against this weaker opposition he should collect first prize. Phinerine landed a similar race to this at Bath last time out and will doubt make the most of the four pounds he recieves from the selection. However he still has a bit to find on official ratings. Blakeshall Quest is also a recent winner having beaten Orchestration in a tight finish at Southwell last time. He is up against it at the weights but should still make his presence felt. Mynd is a fair performer on his day and looks the pick of the remainder, but Endless Summer is suited by the conditions of this race and he gets our vote.
