Front-running tactics were tried on TYRION'S DREAM for the first time here last month and they paid off with a surprise victory. He had Breaking News back in second that day and a big run from the latter in the previous race would boost his prospects. Giorni Felice has been running well but is 13lb higher than his victory at Navan in July but Colin Keane's presence on Matilda With Me catches the eye as his mount has been dropped 4lb despite a fair run at Punchestown. Kudbegood was narrowly beaten over the trip on heavy ground at Galway but is 0-25 while Max's Dandy and Gregory's Gift fought out a finish on heavy ground at Limerick last month and neither can be dismissed.
