Endeavor should relish longer trip

Gordon Elliott’s lightly-raced Noble Endeavor can land the INH Stallion Owners’ EBF Maiden Hurdle at Punchestown this afternoon.

He showed nothing on his debut at Navan, but then popped up at 25-1 on his second outing in a bumper at Leopardstown at Christmas, beating the subsequent winner, Windsor Park, by three lengths.

The selection followed by running over flights at Fairyhouse last month, finishing fourth in the contest won by Waxies Dargle.
