Verdict

If Fit The Cove, who was due to run at Roscommon last night, gets in from his reserve spot he has to come into consideration despite a huge weight. Mountain Mama ran very well here in June and a return to that sort of form would see her go close but HEROIC ENDEAVOUR looks the one to be on. He has been making steady progress and his two latest efforts in strong handicaps point to his chances here. Doublebarreljimmy was behind Fit The Cove at Tipperary but has slipped to a very lowly mark and should get involved while Measured Approval will benefit from racing on quicker ground.
