Brave Endeavour

Trained by Paul O'Flynn out of Mallow in County Cork, Brave Endeavour is part of a yard that has sent out six winners already this season, so the infrastructure for success clearly exists. O'Flynn's team will be hoping this horse can add to that tally, though the recent form figures — a seventh, a tenth, and two blank runs — suggest it has some work to do before that happens. Racing just three days ago, Brave Endeavour is clearly being kept busy, and that activity at least suggests the team believe there is something worth chasing.

For now, the record reads as one of those horses that runs honestly without quite getting its nose in front. Sometimes that changes — a race run on the right day, on the right ground, with a bit of luck in running. Whether Brave Endeavour gets that moment remains to be seen.
