Few got into it and ELUSIVE WARRIOR almost certainly did not have to improve on his latest efforts in better company to win as he did, making all and alwayslooking set to hold on in the straight. He will find things tough if put up by the handicapper for this but goes well on this course and should continue to give a good account in modest company.
Ugenius had been 3 3/4 lengths behind the winner when they were placed in a claimer here five days earlier, and got a little closer on terms 4lb better, but never seriously threatened to turn the tables. He was clear of the rest but it will be a modest handicap he wins.
Crafty Fox had looked to be on the downgrade and his relative proximity is another sign this was modest form.
Hi Spec kept on and ran a little better than of late but this was probably not an effort to get carried away with.
