All eyes on Tyrur Big Mike

IT HAS been over six months since Tyrur Big Mike raced, but the Derby and Champion Stakes runner-up is hot favourite to lift the Collage Causeway/Killahan Phanter Easter Cup, which starts at Shelbourne tonight.

Perhaps the most interesting clash is that of Tyrur Big Mike and Razldazl George in the opening heat. Add the fastest finishing Air Force Ellie, Asisola and Nicken Shaw to the mix and this could be quite a spectacle.

Tyrur Big Mike is likely to start favourite, but he could drift in the betting after a slight setback after his latest trial, while his owner PJ Fahy has said he may need the outing. Razldazl George is a big threat, but Asisola and Air Force Ellie are entitled to respect.
