Out For A Stroll is in great heart at the moment and has to be there or thereabouts again, however we will give the vote to Joshua's Gold, with Foolish Groom also expected to run well. The selection was an impressive winner of a Catterick handicap back in July and ran well next time under a six pound penalty when third to Passion Fruit. Off the same mark today, and with Danny Tudhope claiming three pounds , he does appear to have a strong chance. Out For A Stroll has landed four of his last six races. He ran down the field at Newmarket yesterday and the handicapper may just about have his measure now, but he may still be capable of making the frame in this company. Foolish Groom beat the consistent The Gaikwar at Haydock before finishing fourth to Everest at Newmarket last time. That winner went in again early this week so the form does appear to be pretty decent. Saraaf can also be given a squeak on the pick of his form, but our idea of the winner is Joshua's Gold.
