Joshua bids for glory in Canada Aidan O'Brien will be represented by Joshua Tree in the Pattison Canadian International on Saturday night. The Montjeu colt was last seen finishing fifth in the St Leger at Doncaster, which was just his second start of the year. "Everything is fine and he's travelled over well. He didn't start until late this year and we were delighted with his first run at York," O'Brien told At The Races. "He then ran in the Leger and we just felt a mile and six (furlongs) was maybe a little bit too far for him. "We've been very happy with him since Doncaster and we think the drop back to a mile and a half will suit him well." The other challenger from this side of the Atlantic Redwood is reported to have arrived at Woodbine in rude health The Barry Hills-trained four-year-old struck gold in the Northern Dancer Turf Stakes at the track last month and although he has since travelled home and back again, Teddy Grimthorpe, racing manager for owner Prince Khalid Abdullah, expects another bold show. "He's travelled over very well and everyone seems really pleased with him," said Grimthorpe. "Obviously it's a big ask for him to make a second Atlantic crossing in a month, but he seems to have handled it very well. "It's another competitive race, but we hope that he can produce his form from his last race and run well again."
