Verdict
Endeavor is weighted to reverse course and distance running with the out-of-sorts Royal Macnab over course and distance in February and the former finished more than four lengths ahead of Formidableopponent when fourth here last time, though soft ground is not ideal. Wetherby second Indian Temple should go well and Quito Du Tresor was runner-up in a better race here last month, though has been raised 5lb since. BETTER B QUICK isn't badly treated on his best form and can be forgiven his latest effort on bottomless ground at Fairyhouse – he could be the value today.
