UK Horse Racing Tips: Tramore

Willie Mullins has landed the last four renewals of this race. His IMPLICIT is a forward-going sort and the undulations in Tramore could suit her. She is fairly fresh ahead of her chasing debut having unseated at the first in a Listed mares' novices' hurdle at the Punchestown Festival. Prior to that, she shed her maiden tag in Clonmel and followed up in a novice handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse. Mullins also saddles Iris Emery, a winner over flights in Fairyhouse who has to be respected. Miss Agusta appears to be the pick of Gordon Elliott's pair, while Idol isn't one to rule out of contention.
Prediction : 1st Implicit 2nd Iris Emery 3rd Miss Agusta

LISTENHERETOMEJACK has posted placed efforts over C&D and in a higher grade at Killarney, which gives him solid claims. Drying ground will be to his advantage. Conversely, Pana To Milan would welcome plenty of cut in the ground. She was successful in a higher class, over a similar trip, at Thurles in February. One at the other end of the weights who could show up well is Ocodango Boy. This former point-to-point winner was noted running on for fourth in his first handicap chase at Downpatrick. Three By Two, who is more known for her exploits in banks races, and Greenway Machine look to have better chances than most of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Listenheretomejack 2nd Pana To Milan 3rd Ocodango Boy

NINTH TITAN is an intriguing runner for Willie Mullins. This son of Wootton Bassett won several times on the Flat in France and finished unplaced in the French Derby of 2021. His jumping debut didn't go to plan in Galway last summer, but he was affected by kickback in that race. The fact that he returns after almost 10 months off indicates that connections think there are races to be won with him in this discipline. Elusive Prince has a third place in a big field at Fairyhouse in March to his name and should be a factor, while Trade Master can improve upon a couple of sixth places at Naas and Ballinrobe.
Prediction : 1st Ninth Titan 2nd Elusive Prince 3rd Trade Master

It is a long time between drinks for CONTRAPPOSTO, but his sliding mark sees him just get into this basement grade and he can take full advantage. His third place in Tipperary was a better effort and this is lesser company. This sharp track could easily help Tingarran Express double her win total. Since delivering at Clonmel in April, she has finished runner-up three times in a row. Her consistency is a bonus among horses who struggle to put a string of decent results together. Trishknowsbest kept on for third in an opportunity handicap hurdle at Ballinrobe, so has to enter calculations.
Prediction : 1st Contrapposto 2nd Tingarran Express 3rd Trishknowsbest

Point-to-point winner PALLAS ATHENE looks the percentage call, especially now that she is stepped up in trip. The Gordon Elliott-trained mare has been running consistently in maidens all year but appears to lack the gears when the race develops in earnest. Faced with an additional two furlongs now, she may just grind it out from the front. Granpa Ger ran better than his final placing suggests when fifth at Punchestown last month. The six-year-old was making ground from the rear when getting the second-last hurdle all wrong. To his credit, the Tony Mullins-trained gelding stayed on well after the last. Mystic Sage looks a mare who could improve further now faced with more of a stamina test.
Prediction : 1st Pallas Athene 2nd Granpa Ger 3rd Mystic Sage

Having run well in a better race at Killarney last month, MERCURY MISSION can strike here for trainer Michael O'Connor. The five-year-old stayed on well enough when finishing fifth, to suggest that he would be worth trying over this longer trip. Downtherefordancin was unable to build on a promising Naas second when only fourth at Cork. However, that was still a fair run in the circumstances so the Gavin Cromwell-trained gelding has to be given serious consideration. Penny Jar, one place behind Downtherefordancin in Cork, should again be competitive. The eight-year-old ran really well on the Flat on his only previous visit to this track.
Prediction : 1st Mercury Mission 2nd Downtherefordancin 3rd Penny Jar

GLANNAGAULLITEHOUS catches the eye here on her racecourse debut. Jonathan Sweeney landed a gamble with a similar type last month when jockey Adam Ryan was also in the saddle. A half-sister to a smart bumper mare who Sweeney also trained, the five-year-old should be monitored closely in the market. Gordon Elliott's Ocean Brew probably ran into a decent prospect when runner-up on her racecourse debut at Cork recently. A winning point-to-pointer, the daughter of Westerner is likely to be ridden quite positively in order to make this a stamina test. Twice-placed Shannon Bank has plenty of experience at this stage so should be involved for trainer Seamus Fahey.
Prediction : 1st Glannagaullitehous 2nd Ocean Brew 3rd Shannon Bank
