1m3f wins here and at Windsor (good) last autumn came racing prominently; unfailingly consistent back over further under mostly rather more patient tactics since, and interesting to see how he's played tonight. |

Won on his second stable start (and second run since wind surgery) in 14-runner handicap at Catterick (1m4f) last month, getting up late having lost a lot of ground when hampered around half a mile out; big player here. |

Five-time Flat winner who landed a novice hurdle last March; it's been slim pickings in the main since and he was soundly beaten on his recent stable debut at Southwell; however, he was sent off the 4-1 joint-favourite and it will be interesting to see if his backers return. |

Had a good 2025, winning over 1m7f at Ayr (good to firm) and 2m at Chester (good); also runner-up on five other occasions, including his reappearance. |

Won at Chester (2m, good) last month and nearly caught The Crafty Mole (who was perhaps idling) at Ripon (2m, good) a fortnight ago; also effective over this C&D and he's in the mix. |

Modest on the Flat and over hurdles and he's 0-19 across both codes; needs to improve for the switch to fences if he's to win this. |

9th Oct 2025 Standard 2m 0f 56y Class 6 |
8st 11lb |
1-24, the win coming by a nose at Wetherby (2m, good to firm) over two years ago; 28-1 when second of five over C&D (Quercus Robur last) three weeks ago but that was a messy event and he'll need a bit more today. |
12/1 |

2nd 5 (6) |
19th Sep 2025 Standard 2m 0f 56y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Signed off for Ian Williams with two runner-up spots at this trip on AW in 2023; all starts on turf since and was second of seven at Catterick three starts ago; beaten 16l at Ripon (2m, good to firm; Lillistar just denied) last time; not entirely ruled out back on this surface. |
8/1 |
Verdict
Team Endeavour escapes a penalty for last week’s Wetherby win but the runner-up would have beaten him had he kept his focus late on. Slight preference is for MARBUZET who looks ready to win again. Geelong has been disappointing but should also run well.[Alistair Jones]
