        Verdict

        Elusive Lady, Hellfire Bay and Crossing Bridges are the three to lookat in this maiden where there are a number of unraced runners who could be anything, and Elusive Lady is taken to make experience count. Hellfire Bay showed improvement on his second start and dropped in grade looks set to play a part here. Both his runs came in decent Leicester contests and he can go close. Crossing Bridges is a daughter of Dr Fong and David Barron's runners are always respected here. He hails from a winning Continental family and any market support from this shrewd yard should be heeded. Elusive Lady has got a string of good performances to her credit and although she may be a little one paced, this looks a very good opportunity. The overall level of her form is superior to any of her rivals and she can make up for some near misses. Elusive Lady can win this.
