UK Horse Racing Tips: Tramore

Itwasfate and Freddie Robdal finished third and sixth at Wexford on Friday last, with just over two lengths between the Henry de Bromhead-trained pair. A swing in the weights should see the Rachael Blackmore ridden former confirm the form. Successful here on New Year's Day, Ahead Of The Posse starts off over fences and is a leading contender after filling the runner-up spot in a competitive affair at Galway recently. Beaten three times when odds-on, Chrisco also starts off over the larger obstacles and warrants respect coming from the Willie Mullins yard. For a selection, it might be worth siding with ROTTEN ROW. A winner at the festival 12 months ago, he was a respectable fourth on his penultimate start at Kilbeggan and with Waterford owners, he is sure to be primed for this assignment.
Prediction : 1st Rotten Row 2nd Ahead Of The Posse 3rd Itwasfate

After winning at Downpatrick and Killarney, Ceanndana starts off over fences and should give a good account of himself. Listentillitellyea also makes his debut over the larger obstacles and after finishing a fine second at Ballinrobe on Tuesday, it'll come as no surprise if he manages to go a place better now. Roman Parish and Some Dove are other leading contenders, with the former beaten just a head at Downpatrick on Sunday last, but WILL YOU WIN gets the nod. A close-up third behind two smart performers at Kilbeggan on her last start, a reproduction of that effort should see her go close. Willywampus has some solid efforts to his name and is another who warrants respect in this open affair.
Prediction : 1st Will You Win 2nd Ceanndana 3rd Listentillitellyea

This looks to concern just a few, with BORN IN PURPLE appearing the most likely winner. One from eight on the level in France, she hasn't been seen since November and starts off for Willie Mullins now. Como Park has some valuable hurdling experience to his name and is given second preference, fitted with a tongue strap for the first time. A dual winner on the Flat when trained by Joseph O'Brien, he was a close-up fourth on his hurdling debut at Navan, disappointing most recently at Cork. Hurdling debutant Rockview Consort is an interesting contender for John McConnell. A model of consistency, he made the breakthrough at Dundalk in February and had three subsequent winners in behind. Mr Globalist and R S Ambush both have place claims.
Prediction : 1st Born In Purple 2nd Como Park 3rd Rockview Consort

Dick Donohoe might be able to take this race for the second year running. Successful 12 months ago with Vischio, the Co Kilkenny handler now saddles CONTRAPPOSTO. The nine-year-old provided connections with a memorable win at Cheltenham in November and he is now reunited with Michael O'Sullivan for the first time since. Second on the level at Sligo recently, he looks well treated off his current mark of 102. Runner-up in the Galway Hurdle of 2020, Hearts Are Trumps is given second preference. Once rated 139, the likeable 10-year-old got back to winning ways at Ballinrobe recently and it'll come as no surprise if he manages to follow up. An ultra-consistent performer, Royal Eagle is sure to give a good account of herself off top-weight, while others for the shortlist are Red Ball Of Fire, dual C&D winner Craic Eile and the Henry de Bromhead-trained Dixie Flyer.
Prediction : 1st Contrapposto 2nd Hearts Are Trumps 3rd Royal Eagle

None of the eight can be safely ruled out. Katou and Thunder both disappointed in the same race at Ballinrobe and have a bit to prove, with the Willie Mullins-trained former fitted with a hood for the first time now. Foxfire Glow made the breakthrough when stepping up in trip at Downpatrick and he'll be well fancied to follow up. For a selection, it might be worth taking a chance on NO FUSSING. Successful at Thurles in March, she came home strongly to finish fourth of 18 at Cork recently and, back up in trip now, she should give a good account of herself, with David Doyle claiming a valuable 7lb. Mousey Brown will also be ridden by a 7lb claimer, with Michael Molloy getting the leg up. Twice successful at Wexford, the six-year-old is a leading contender. Eve Moneypenny should appreciate going back out in trip, while Hidalgo Des Mottes certainly wouldn't be winning out of turn. Bynx, who won here in June, completes the line-up and she will need to improve on recent efforts if she is to feature.
Prediction : 1st No Fussing 2nd Foxfire Glow 3rd Mousey Brown

MR SOCIAL is the suggestion in this competitive affair. The Getaway five-year-old ran his best race to date at Downpatrick last month and while he led over the last, he ultimately had to settle for fourth. Dropping slightly in trip now and with Mark McDonagh claiming a valuable 5lb, he should go close. Ranger Billy and Hard Target are two leading contenders, with the latter placed on his last three outings. Beaten by just half a length on his most recent start at Killarney, the Harry Kelly-trained bay certainly wouldn't be winning out of turn. Danny Mullins is an interesting jockey booking on the locally-trained Sweet Bonnie. While she hasn't shown much to date, she makes her debut in handicap company and is fitted with cheekpieces for the first time. Fellow handicap debutant Blue In The West has a point-to-point win to his name and is a brother to Supremely West, who won a bumper here in December before going on to win two more in the UK.
Prediction : 1st Mr Social 2nd Hard Target 3rd Sweet Bonnie

A racing power couple, Maxine O'Sullivan and Emmet Mullins team up here with FILEY BAY. While he disappointed when sent off favourite on his Flat debut at Roscommon, the selection since ran a huge race to finish fifth in the Galway Hurdle. The Fame And Glory seven-year-old probably wasn't suited by the trip at Roscommon and over two miles now, he should be able to redeem himself. In what is a quality affair, a strong case can be made for a few others. Out of Group 3 victor Only Mine, the twice raced Uxmal is an interesting contender for Joseph O'Brien, while Limerick bumper winner Ivana is another likely to prove popular with punters. A drifter in the market when fifth at Galway, she will appreciate going back out in trip. Fourth and fifth behind Liberated Light at Killarney last month, Rasiym and Stuzzikini are both capable of making an impact, while Man O Work and Fiveonefive are others of note.
Prediction : 1st Filey Bay 2nd Uxmal 3rd Ivana
