Verdict

BLACK ENDEAVOUR's Doncaster success has been well advertised already and he can double up here from a 4 Ib higher mark at the expense of Wyle Cop, who rates a big danger on the back of his last run. Thunderous Love heads the list of the remainder.

10	Nursery winner at Nottingham last year and has gradually worked his way back to form this season, producing a career-best effort to score in a 9-runner handicap at Doncaster (6f, firm) 13 days ago. That race has already produced 2 winners and he has to be taken seriously in follow up bid. 1st Pick 10 Black Endeavour (Ire) Jockey: Rossa Ryan Trainer: Mark Rimell J: Rossa Ryan T: Mark Rimell	100	-	-	-	20%

8	Justified cramped odds in a Wolverhampton maiden in March. In first-time blinkers, bounced back to best from a career-low mark when third in handicap back at that venue (6f, 10/1) 23 days ago. Not taken lightly with the headgear retained and racing from the same mark. 2nd Pick 8 Wyle Cop (Usa) Jockey: Kieran Shoemark Trainer: Jack Jones J: Kieran Shoemark T: Jack Jones	99	-	-	-	8%

6	Had a very productive 2025, winning 5 times over 6f, including at this course. Possibly found race coming too soon when sixth at Salisbury (6f, heavy, 10/3) 30 days ago. Has been dropped a further 3 Ib in the weights and is too well handicapped to ignore. 3rd Pick 6 Thunderous Love Jockey: Rob Hornby Trainer: Jonathan Portman J: Rob Hornby T: Jonathan Portman	96	-	-	-	15%
