John Dunlop is refusing to look beyond Thursday's Racing Post breezeupbonus.com Craven Stakes at Newmarket for his exciting colt Elusive Pimpernel.
The three-year-old won one of the hottest juvenile events of 2009 in the Acomb Stakes at York before finding only StanJames.com 2000 Guineas favourite St Nicholas Abbey too strong in the Racing Post Trophy.
Elusive Pimpernel himself is as short as 14-1 for the season's first Classic on May 1 and Dunlop said: "The horse has done well and had a good winter, so we'll see how he gets on. He hasn't had any problems and we'll just have to see how he runs on Thursday, it's as simple as that really."
He added: "The ground shouldn't worry him all being well so we'll see what happens on the day."
