Verdict

ENDLESS TALKING was unchallenged when scoring over hurdles at Downpatrick earlier in the month and both his background as a successful pointer and physical scope suggests he'll make an even better chaser. Mercury Mission has made a fine start to his chasing career and sets a lofty bar for the selection, with another chase newcomer Costacurta completing the shortlist.
