        Verdict

        Newcomer Elusive Dreams gets the vote here ahead of Diksie Dancer, Abadia, and Riggins. John Gosden started the turf season with a bang (two wins and two seconds from his first five runners) however things do seem to have gone quiet since and Elusive Dreams would be a welcome winner. By Elusive Quality, he should act on the surface and looks the call if the market speaks in his favour. Abadia should come on for her recent run at Pontefract where she was green as grass, whilst newcomers Etain and Riggins both warrant respect on their debuts. Diksie Dancer takes a drop in trip today and will presumably try to crack out and make all from her good draw and may try to have some of these on the stretch early on. Watch the market for clues, but Elusive Dreams gets the nomination.
