Verdict

Elfride finished fifth when Foillmore was pulled up at Exeter last month. The former may have a bit of scope following a wind operation but MOLE COURT looks the one to beat on his latest second at Warwick when only beaten half-a-length, almost 12 lengths ahead of fourth-placed Hunsbury. Pedley Wood has to concede weight all round despite showing little sign of progress.
