Plenty with claims here, including ENDLESS WHISPER, who still has few miles on the clock and could be suited by this stiffer test of stamina. She gets the nod. Captain Potter and Letmebetheboss may provide the chief threat.

Produced a personal best when returning to winning ways in decisive fashion at Pontefract (18f, good) 21 days ago. This is more competitive but he looks sure to make his presence felt again.
