Gary Halpin, bringing up a double after his earlier win on The Ring Is King travelled well down the inner on Elusive In Paris.
He had to wait to get into the clear on the 7/2 favourite and wide apart he got the verdict by a short head from Zorba The Greek
"I only have him a week. I think there are a couple more races in him. We'll travel to England and hopefully have a bit of fun with him," added Feane.
