FormscanBy Alan Magee - TYRCONNELL has gained all six wins on either the all-weather in Dundalk or the beach at Laytown but has dropped down to an attractive mark on turf. The Sarah Lynam-trained gelding likes to be held up and produced between horses which invariably can lead to hard luck stories in running which happened again when flashing home to get within a length of Big Baby Bull over this trip at Naas last time. Regular partner Shane Crosse knows him well and hopefully the cards will fall right on this occasion. Big Baby Bull has since run well at Galway where not enjoying the clearest of runs. Janoobi starts handicap life off a mark of 90 after a convincing win over a mile on soft ground at Cork. He previously went close also over this trip on better ground in a Leopardstown maiden that has worked out well. In Ectasy won twice over a mile at Dundalk last winter and is another interesting recruit to handicaps.
