        Verdict

        BUSH WARRIOR made all to score over 6f at Lingfield last week. Clear of the field at today's shorter distance, he returned a decisive winner and can hold off the attentions of Point North. The latter will be looking to keep tabs on the selection having won a lower grade sprint over track and trip recently and is preferred to Elusivity, who won a claimer at Southwell last time, his first success since 2012. Pearl Noir won three times over the minimum trip last year and is back on a winning mark if at his best.
