UK Horse Racing Tips: Tramore

This doesn't look a strong contest and SILENT APPROACH has shown enough recently to give her the winning of a race of this standard. The Walk In The Park filly made the running at Wexford last time before fading to finish fourth, having been a solid enough second behind the impressive Lantry Lady at Gowran previously. She probably doesn't have to improve much on those performances. She should confirm placings with the 91-rated I Sea The Moon, who was fourth at Gowran. Double Pink was also behind the selection when sixth at Gowran. That was effectively her jumping debut, having been carried out early at Wexford six days previously, and she could be open to a bit of improvement.
Prediction : 1st Silent Approach 2nd I Sea The Moon 3rd Double Pink

VICEREGENT has to carry a penalty in this, having won on the Flat, but may prove the pick. The Nathaniel gelding has been very consistent this season and has been placed behind some smart sorts, most notably Marine Nationale. He looked to get caught for a bit of toe last time at Cork when dropping back to two miles. He rallied well in the closing stages when chasing home Starzov and should appreciate going back to two and a half miles. Potters Party is the other obvious contender in the race having been placed last time out at Limerick. The Mahler gelding was third to So Des Flos then, when making a few slight errors, and could be capable of a bit better than that. The Willie Mullins-trained Macdermott was behind Potters Party when fifth last time and needs to step up on that form.
Prediction : 1st Viceregent 2nd Potters Party 3rd Macdermott

LILIAN BLAND is a keen-goer who has shown good and consistent form. Winner of a February point-to-point, her two subsequent hurdle runs were useful and she is suited by this distance and easy ground. Richie Deegan seemingly sides with her over Well Loved, who was a final-flight faller when holding just place claims at Naas, with her previous form being ordinary. Royal Rhythm likes testing ground, is trip-versatile and ran fine in a better handicap at Limerick last month. Hard Target was well held on a recent run but had won previously and today's rider claims 5lb. Port Rashid is 12 but continues in fine fettle,while maidens Anstand and Early Arrival both disappointed on recent runs but had run well previously.
Prediction : 1st Lilian Bland 2nd Royal Rhythm 3rd Hard Target

MASTER BREFFNI was a gambled third at Naas and might gain compensation. The winner franked the form by winning subsequently and, being unexposed, the selection can continue to progress, dropping slightly in distance. Might Jeremy has bounced back from long layoffs in his career and both he and the runner-up pulled well clear of the remainder at Clonmel. He is 8lb higher and is keen, but is also lightly raced and might progress some more. Costanuci improved on handicap debut in February, where the fourth horse won twice subsequently. She, too, is open to progression and can get involved on her first run for 53 days. Point-to-point winner Just Hannah debuts for Charles Byrnes and while catching the eye in September, would prefer summer ground. Unheralded was well held on heavy ground at Clonmel, but beat plenty of horses and had previously run well at that venue in a race which has worked out well.
Prediction : 1st Master Breffni 2nd Mighty Jeremy 3rd Costanuci

SAINT SAM has found a soft touch on his return to fences. Runner-up in the 2021 Fred Winter Hurdle at Cheltenham and Grade 1-placed over fences, he was well held in the County Hurdle last month but had previously shown smart form this season and returns to fences at a country track. Halsafari has 43lb to find with the selection on their Leopardstown hurdle clash last month and is rated 42lb lower over fences. However, he could finish second, being in-form, race-fit and suited by conditions. Minella Escape is a capable 130-performer on his day but his form is more out-than-in and he struck into himself when pulling up at Fairyhouse in December.
Prediction : 1st Saint Sam 2nd Halsafari 3rd Minella Escape

OLD SOUL is a progressive six-year-old and is ideally suited by testing ground. He chased home the now 128-rated Queen Jane (when conceding 7lb) in February, won on his recent Clonmel run, and will be suited by stepping up in distance and by today's rider claiming 5lb on handicap chase debut. Tyre Kicker won over course and distance in January and then beat a subsequent winner at Fairyhouse. However, he was a fortunate winner at Leopardstown last month, is 3lb higher and, interestingly, is held by the selection on a December 2022 hurdle clash. Brideswell Lad was the unlucky loser of that March Leopardstown race, but was well enough beaten since. Lizrona is 6lb higher than when winning at Clonmel and while today's rider claims an extra 4lb, faces a tougher task. Sunnyvilla has beaten both Presenting Point and Priory Park into second to win his two races and each are able types at this level.
Prediction : 1st Old Soul 2nd Tyre Kicker 3rd Brideswell Lad

In a fairly open contest, it might pay to take a chance on DREAMSRMADEOFTHIS. Enda Bolger's mare ran well in first-time cheekpieces (retained) at Thurles in February, finishing third. This C&D should hold no fears having hit the woodwork on her sole start around here, and she might not need to improve much further to get off the mark over fences. Jack Holiday landed this two years ago and merits respect, while Freddie Robdal should not be underestimated for his leading yard. Others to note include Know The Game and Top Line Tommy.
Prediction : 1st Dreamsrmadeofthis 2nd Jack Holiday 3rd Freddie Robdal
