HARD ENDEAVOUR is less exposed than most here and can progress again from his promising Sandown second to land this good prize. Course specialist Hickory is also shortlisted, with his win here in July looking strong form, whilst Ozat hasn't had the rub of the green on his most recent outings and likely remains on a competitive mark.
