    Verdict

    ELUSIVE HAWK is clear at the weights on today's terms and should take advantage. He's won five times over 6f here but also scored over today's trip at Lingfield last year and has plenty in hand with Spitfire. The latter returned a losing favourite over 6f at this track a week ago and Arabian Flight makes more appeal having won a handicap over track and trip last month. The veteran Elusive Warrior was a prolific course winner in his day but that seems to have passed and he's hard to fancy on these terms.
