Verdict
A strong entry with few ruled out. Ya Boy Ya won here in June and at Tramore last month and though over four lengths behind Funky Dady in a Tipperary handicap can reverse the form on the revised terms. MON STORM made a successful chasing debut in 2019 but has been confined to hurdling subsequently, scoring easily at Down Royal last week. He can complete a quick double though Dakota Beat, from a yard in top form, can revert to fences on a lowly mark while dual course and distance winner Definite Soldier was taking on much better company at Killarney last time.
