Verdict
The Crisfords’ yard is flying at present and ELJENOB (NAP) can add to the tally of recent winners having gone close at Windsor last time. Tuxedo Junction has placed over today’s trip the last twice while most of the remainder are upped in distance. That includes both Just Another One and Run At Dawn but Deferred may prove best of them with Jim Crowley on board.
