FormscanBy Mark Nunan - FINAL ENDEAVOUR won a couple of times at the backend of last season on heavy ground and put in a good shift on his second Flat start of this year when runner-up to the in-form Franno at Fairyhouse. He should get the ease in the ground that he wants and he’s only 2lb higher than his last winning mark. Harry Rogers also runs Leopardstown winner Clifftop but his best form is over shorter trips and his stamina might be stretched here. The locally-trained Brehon Star won at Ballinrobe before racing lazily when staying on to dead-heat for second at Killarney. First-time blinkers could be a good move and the Lawman 3-year-old is open to more improvement. Last summer’s course and distance winner Little Brother got back on the scoresheet at Leopardstown in May and has continued to acquit himself well since then, while Clan Jock goes three furlongs further after a fair third at Gowran Park last time.
