      Verdict

      The hat-trick seeking Out For A Stroll gets the nod here. With Song Of Vala and Voice Mail others that have to be respected, while Prime Offer should not be underestimate now that he has the benefit of a seasonal run behind him. The last named showed a liking for the sea air when winning at Yarmouth last term. He also had some decent form at this track and is in with a shout if he does not suffer from the bounce. Voice Mail can never confidently be ruled out in this sort of grade, as his reliable profile would suggest. However, the handicapper has been very slow to react and he needs to drop a few more pounds before he can confidently be backed. Song Of Vala showed his determination when beating Voice Mail over course and distance 20 days ago. Roger Charlton's charge should also make a bold bid while he is in such good heart. However, Out For A Stroll has been a revelation during the last month and looks more than capable of defying his penalty in his current frame of mind.
