TYRCONNELL is 2-18 around here but very nearly made it three when just failing to concede Regal Eagle 13lb last month. Iseebreeze was around six lengths behind that day but ran much better 10 days ago when just failing to make all with St George's Head close behind. Adams Barbour paid his first visit here a week ago and made most for a shock 80/1 victory. He's only been raised 2lb so a similar effort should see him in the firing-line. Alice Milligan dropped down to this trip for the first time here last month and made a bold bid to make all. She's on a 2lb lower mark here so must be considered a major threat.
