UK Horse Racing Tips: Tramore

OWENACURRA LASS has some smart form under her belt, particularly in the bumper sphere, and, entitled to improve for her comeback third over timber at Clonmel last month, she rates the one to beat. Shimmer And Shine performed well on her last couple of starts during the autumn and must enter calculations now returning, with Villa Moura and Jeremys Dream other names to note.
Prediction : 1st Owenacurra Lass 2nd Shimmer And Shine 3rd Villa Moura

There is nothing splitting Spyglass Hill and Macgiloney on official ratings and both hold solid claims, but preference is for the less exposed ONTHEROPES. He hasn't been devoid of promise in a couple of bumper appearances and switching to hurdles should bring about improvement from the five-year-old, who boasts placed form between the flags. Definite Dilemma, who is two from two in the point-to-point sphere, also warrants respect.
Prediction : 1st Ontheropes 2nd Spyglass Hill 3rd Macgiloney

ALOHAMORA produced a career-best performance when third in a competitive 3m handicap at Leopardstown most recently and, equipped with first-time blinkers, she looks sure to mount a bold bid in this event. Load Up Time certainly wasn't disgraced when fifth in the mud at Limerick and he warrants respect lining up off an unchanged mark, while Tintown Robin wouldn't be without a chance if putting his best foot forward.
Prediction : 1st Alohamora 2nd Load Up Time 3rd Tintown Robin

Course winner MONATOMIC might be able to give weight and a beating to these rivals. Although his jumping is a slight concern, win and placed efforts at Down Royal and Naas respectively this year showed that the ability is there and the rest of these arrive either out of form or lacking match practice. French recruit Class Conti and Pylonthepressure, the mount of Ruby Walsh but absent since pulling up at last season's Punchestown Festival, are a couple of interesting runners from the Willie Mullins stable.
Prediction : 1st Monatomic 2nd Class Conti 3rd Pylonthepressure

OSCAR LANTERN is on a good mark and has a solid chance if building on his 2m4f Punchestown third off 1lb lower in January. King's Song drops back in trip and is eased in grade after finishing midfield in the Ulster National last month, while he is also entitled to improve for the fitting of first-time blinkers. The pick of the remainder may be Dark Outsider, a C&D winner who finished a solid second off this mark at Leopardstown on his penultimate outing.
Prediction : 1st Oscar Lantern 2nd Kings Song 3rd Dark Outsider

LITTLESTICKARUBARB scored with plenty of authority over a similar trip at Clonmel last time and should go close if running to a similar level of form now returned to handicap company. Effernock Lad shaped with an abundance of promise when second on his return to fences at Navan and is expected to remain competitive following a 3lb rise. A big run could also be on the cards from Whatsinthecorner now he drops back from 2m4f.
Prediction : 1st Littlestickarubarb 2nd Whatsinthecorner 3rd Effernock Lad

STOPS A NATION is a half-sister to Irish St Leger-winning stablemate Wicklow Brave and has plenty of past bumper scorers on her page. Willie Mullins' four-year-old has been found a suitable opening to strike and could prove too strong for That's My Dubai, who has shown enough to suggest that she can win one of these in four career outings so far. Memory Of Youth and Ri Rua can prove best of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Stops A Nation 2nd Thats My Dubai 3rd Ri Rua
