    Verdict

    ELUSIVE DREAMS gets the narrow vote in this handicap over Green Velvet and Scholars Lass. The selection chased home Mr Skipiton last time out, but he lost ground at the start and was always playing catch-up. If he can get a level break then he should take all the beating. Green Velvet won well here last time but this extra furlong will not necessarily play to her strengths. Scholars Lass was far from disgraced over 6f at Southwell last time. That was her first try over this trip so it will be interesting to see if she can build on that here. Mick Channon's Bateleur finished well behind our selection last time and he looks to have it all to do reverse form here. Elusive Dreams sets a decent standard and he looks the one to beat.
