FormscanBy Michael Graham - A good race. TYRCONNELL is down in class and has each-way claims. Sarah Lynam's horse travelled notably well over course and distance in December before being outgunned at the business end. He was only beaten a length and a half into sixth and that was in a 0-105 handicap. The fact the handicapper has eased him by 1lb is a bonus. The eight-year-old has been some servant as he has been in the first three in 19 of his 45 races. A patient ride reaped a full reward the last time Inflection Point raced over 7f in Dundalk. It is likely that those tactics will have to be deployed again as he goes to work from stall 12. He should be finishing better than most. Meishar faced a very tough task when third behind horses rated 108 and 113 over course and distance, however, he ran a creditable race and can get in the mix. Ajax Tavern has incredibly won his last three races in Dundalk for three different trainers - a couple of claimers and a handicap. He is in rude health but more may be needed as he is up in class.
