Out For A Stroll,Joyeaux and Bond Playboy are three against the field in a competitive finale and the vote is given to Joyeaux. The selection won well last time out when beating Bond Playboy last time out and although that rival is better off at the weights here he won with as shade in hand and is taken to win again. Out For A Stroll rates the main danger as he also won well last time out when beating Boarder Artist but the drop in trip has to be of concern. Bond Playboy is sure to have his supporters but he is becoming expensive to follow. Of the remainder Treasure House has dropped to as handy mark and could go well at a price while Turn Around could go well but the suspicion is he m,ay need the run after a 402 day absence but for the winner we return to Joyeaux.
