        Verdict

        Out For A Stroll has an obvious chance at the weights but showed again at Brighton on Wednesday that he is not at home on a soft surface and, at the likely odds, he looks worth taking on with preference for Shielaligh, who gets the vote over Charleston Lover. The last mentioned is a German-bred colt who surprisingly has never raced on ground softer than good before and it will be interesting to see if Simon Dow's son of Dashing Blade handles the underfoot conditions. Celtic Spa has yet to prove that she handles testing ground although being by Celtic Swing she should do, while Aggravation is similarly better on fast ground. Top weight Just Fly is another that would prefer a faster surface and preference is for Rod Millman's Shielaligh, who goes on the ground and has slipped to an attractive mark.
