Verdict

ENDLESS VICTORY (5) was narrowly beaten at his latest appearance at Newmarket (July) over 1 ¾m six months ago. He has found the right race, and anything from the Charlie Appleby stable is normally ready to rumble. KING OF CONQUEST (9) is back after a break of ten months. Started the last campaign impressively when in the placings over 1 ¾m at this track. Has the ability and should be right in the finish. BURDETT ROAD (2) has accrued two minor placings from three runs this preparation. Turned in another good effort at his most recent run when third over 2m in the G2 November Novices' Chase at Cheltenham. He is as tough as they come, and another bold run is expected. MEYDAAN (10) tried hard without much luck over 2m at Flemington in the Melbourne Cup last time out. He is top quality when right, and he can bounce straight back into form here.
