TYRCONNELL is in such good form that a hat-trick beckons. He had plenty in reserve when completing a double in an apprentices' race last week and a 7lb rise doesn't look enough to prevent him going in again. Red All Star made all over the trip last month but didn't appreciate being dropped back to the minimum two days later and can do better. Ajmera has never won but has some smart form on Turf and was staying on over 5f last time but four-times track winner Lily's Prince is better handicapped on Turf.
