UK Horse Racing Tips: Tramore

This looks a nice opportunity for EASY GAME. He didn't have to smoothest of passages in the Galway Plate, getting hampered five from home, and it wasn't a bad effort to finish mid-division. This is an easier task now and he should prove a class act in this company. Mengli Khan is officially only rated 5lb inferior but has been well held on his last couple of starts and needs to return to the form that saw him win over hurdles at Kilbeggan in mid-July. Razoul was goog on his chase debut here last month but this looks a fair jump in class now.
Prediction : 1st Easy Game 2nd Mengli Khan 3rd Razoul

There looks a handicap chase in FRIARY GOLD off this kind of mark and he gets the vote. Gavin Cromwell's charge ran a solid enough race off a 2lb lower mark when third at Roscommon last month and going up a bit in trip now looks like it should suit. He had been a good winner off a pound lower mark on his previous outing over hurdles at Killarney. Kilderry Prince comes into the race in winning form and went up 6lb for his success at Tipperary last time. He sprang a shock that day and there probably isn't much improvement in him at the age of 12. Cantkidakidder, who was fifth in Tipperary, is a previous course winner and could be each-way material.
Prediction : 1st Friary Gold 2nd Kilderry Prince 3rd Cantkidakidder

SAMBA DANCER may be worth a shot here in first time cheekpieces. A mistake two from home didn't help his chances at Kilbeggan last time and he had run well at Roscommon previously when fourth to The Wonky Tonk. A mark of 104 should be enough to win a race of this standard. He has to turn around form now with Dave And Bernie, who ran well at a big price when chasing home Empirion at Kilbeggan last time. Sani Pass was runner-up on her visit here last month and getting weight from the geldings she has to come into calculations.
Prediction : 1st Samba Dancer 2nd Dave And Bernie 3rd Sani Pass

ELEGANT LASS bumped into a well handicapped rival on her last visit here and is fancied to get into the winners enclosure again. It was a good run to chase home Imperial Choice last time and that rival has franked the form with an impressive win at Ballinrobe since. Top-weight Moonball is a previous course and distance winner and has to be a danger. She won on her return from an absence at Kilbeggan in late June and followed that up with a solid runner-up effort back at that venue last month. Gotta Getaway and Bridge Native are both engaged here on Thursday night so how they perform then will have a big impact on whether they turn out again quickly.
Prediction : 1st Elegant Lass 2nd Moonball 3rd Gotta Getaway

Not a strong contest and ABBI SHORE should be good enough to get her head in front. She reverts to hurdling having finished well held on her chase debut at Kilbeggan last time. Previously at the same track she has been a solid fourth to Aprils Joy in a mares maiden hurdle over this trip and a similar effort would probably suffice now. The handicapper has Gracefull Grace rated just a pound inferior and she would look the danger. Shane Crawley's charge ran with more promise on better ground on her return at Gowran, when fifth to Jon Ess, and in against her own sex now must have a shout. This looks an easier task than the one No Memory faced at Galway and she is another to consider.
Prediction : 1st Abbi Shore 2nd Gracefull Grace 3rd No Memory

STYLISH MOMENT ran a decent race at Galway last time and looks capable of landing a contest of this standard off his current mark. It was a stronger contest in which he finished fourth to Bua Boy last time and the winner has franked the form since. Stepping up half a mile now looks like it could suit Eoin Doyle's charge. Basil's Boy won here last month and has to be respected despite a 7lb rise for that victory. The Wonky Tonk also comes here in winning form after a narrow success in a maiden at Roscommon last month. Hugh Morgan eases the burden of top weight on his handicap debut and he may be open to more improvement. Elegant Dan is engaged over fences on Thursday night so much depends on how he gets on there.
Prediction : 1st Stylish Moment 2nd Basils Boy 3rd The Wonky Tonk

RUAILLE BUAILLE looks the one to beat after a decent effort on her comeback to chase home Curlew Hill at Downpatrick. Willie Mullins' charge was returning from an 13-month absence having also been placed at the same track on her debut and looks well placed to open her account now. Reverse Polarity was just held by a neck on her last visit here and looks an obvious danger. Gordon Elliott's charge Not What It Seems is entitled to improve from his debut run at Galway, when fourth to stablemate Weseekhimhere, and is another that has to come into calculations.
Prediction : 1st Ruaille Buaille 2nd Reverse Polarity 3rd Not What It Seems
