        Verdict

        Fly Zone is fitted with a tongue-tie having returned a losing favourite again when third at Brighton. He’s weighted to beat Classic Times, who is fitted with hood and drops back down in trip along with A DUBLIN LAD. The latter finished a disappointing third at Sandown in June but the winner is now rated 93 and the runner-up went on the land the Melrose at York so that form looks much stronger in hindsight.
