A tricky apprentice handicap to end the card and a narrow vote is given to Arian's Lad, Tom Forest and Out For A Stroll look to be the main dangers. The selection showed improved form to finish a close up fourth behind today's rival Vibe at Chepstow last month. The weight pull should be enough to reverse that form and he does appear to be on the upgrade. Tom Forest showed plenty of ability last campaign and looked on the way back to form last time behind Tough Love. The stable continues to churn out winners and off his current mark he should be involved in the finish. Out For A Stroll returned to winning ways in game fashion at Brighton last time and has gone well here earlier this year. Meanwhile Mister Elegant has been running well of late and is another to consider for each-way purposes, however we return to Arians Lad to be the likely winner.
