        Verdict

        Elusive Dream is at the top of his form and can complete a five-timer at the expense of Lochbuie, Peak Of Perfection and Lets Roll to name but three. Another competitive affair on the Knavesmire may see Elusive Dream outstay the opposition to reel off another success before going up the weights. This progressive sort has also won in soft ground and with in-form Seb Sanders in the plate again, can pay to follow. Lochbuie has already been hit by the handicapper, going up 18lbs since the start of the season, but won in determined fashion at Goodwood last time and will make his presence felt as well. Peak Of Perfection did us a favour when scoring at Sandown and will be much better now that he can go left handed. His style of running should ensure that he goes well, while Lets Roll, a cheap purchase in comparison to most of the others, has been a revelation lately and can cope with a seven-pound rise. He will stay well and can run into a place at a big price, but Elusive Dream can have his measure here.
