COACH BOMBAY had been racing over much further before dropping back to this trip here earlier this month and landing a minor handicap. He's only 4lb higher and can complete a quick double. Cheers Buddy was a long way behind but that wasn't his form and he did much better behind Strait Of Zanzibar at Laytown. Doonard Prince has won over 7f here but never over a mile while Athassel, despite rarely being beaten far, is still a maiden after 24 starts. Sea of Blue has been looking very moderate but is 11lb lower than her handicap debut and she won't get many better opportunities.
