EYE OF THE DRAGON looked like getting off the mark at Cork last time only to be worn down near the finish by the reopposingb Autumn Mist and a 2 lb swing in the weights could be enough for Mick Halford's charge to turn the tables. Double Coffee didn't make too bad a start for the Joseph O'Brien yard in claiming company last time and has a basement mark to work with now back in a handicap.
