Verdict

Forrest Flyer rarely wins anywhere but here nowadays and is lower in the weights than when successful in June though his later form has left something to be desired. Latin Rebel is still a maiden but has been racing over shorter trips and won't have been suited. Irish raider COACH BOMBAY has never raced beyond 1m4f so he's an unknown quantity though he's well handicapped and a chance is taken on him staying the trip in the moderate contest. Funky Monkey scored over hurdles last month and will be fit enough though he could do with some rain while Brabazon also goes for Ireland and he's on his lowest mark for six years though he's been beaten a distance on his last two starts.
