UK Horse Racing Tips: Tramore

This doesn't look like the strongest maiden hurdle and IMMELMANN may be good enough to make a winning start over timber. The German-bred gelding won a Flat maiden for the yard last October and has had just one run this season, when weakening tamely in a two-mile handicap at Galway recently. He is sure to be well schooled for this job. Expound has been running well on the Flat and could be a danger here. The Ulysses gelding was fourth over hurdles here back in early June. Someone's Wish has some solid runs in handicap company and despite being rated 98 he could play a part here.
Prediction : 1st Immelmann 2nd Expound 3rd Someones Wish

MATER MATUTA can bag another winner around here. The Dawn Approach mare has won twice at the venue, including over fences here in late May. She ran well behind the well handicapped Petrol Head when third at Downpatrick on her last outing and looks capable of taking one of these off her current hurdle mark. Sayitfirst ran a solid race when third at a big price in Kilbeggan eight days ago and could get involved again in a weak-looking contest. Blackstone Cliff wasn't beaten far when fifth last time and is another to consider.
Prediction : 1st Mater Matuta 2nd Sayitfirst 3rd Blackstone Cliff

MARV MICHAEL ran well for a long way over further at Wexford before finishing second and could go one better in first-time cheekpieces. He has the advantage of race fitness over several of his main market rivals. Willie Mullins fields a pair of horses and Where's Nanny is of interest as a bumper winner on debut at this track. However, that was in October and jockey bookings indicate Coole Cherry is the stable pick. She disappointed at Downpatrick but may come on from that seasonal reappearance. Suttons Hill bids to snap a run of three runner-up berths in a row returning from a lengthy absence.
Prediction : 1st Marv Michael 2nd Coole Cherry 3rd Wheres Nanny

SPACE TOURIST won three times over hurdles for Willie Mullins and ought to progress from a debut fifth in a beginners' chase at Wexford, especially as that was her first run in more than six months. Miss Tempo drops back to this trip after a third place over fences in Wexford and it is heartening that she won a mares' maiden hurdle on her sole previous visit to Tramore. Space Tourist's stablemate, A Penny A Hundred, kept good company over hurdles and has to come under consideration on her chasing bow. Costanuci has a chance while Gordon Elliott's Miss Agusta, who is up in trip, is another to consider.
Prediction : 1st Space Tourist 2nd Miss Tempo 3rd A Penny A Hundred

One of three runners for Henry de Bromhead, the unexposed GARDE LA PECHE is the choice of Rachael Blackmore and appreciated a sounder surface when winning her beginners' chase at Clonmel. The daughter of Kapgarde was a remote second on handicap debut at Tipperary but did have three of these rivals behind her. Stablemate True Faith has failed to complete two starts since returning from a layoff but is a C&D winner who would have a class edge if returning to form. Room To Roam ran creditably at Kilbeggan two runs back and goes well at country tracks, while course hurdles winner Natural Breeze has shaped with some promise on his first two chase outings.
Prediction : 1st Garde La Peche 2nd Room To Roam 3rd Natural Breeze

ITSALONGLONGROAD is a dual C&D winner who comes here in good shape after making all to score on the Flat at Sligo recently. The durable ten-year-old was runner-up on his most recent outing at this venue in May and looks primed to give this a good go from the front end. Falcon Park will have plenty of supporters after winning at Wexford on his second start for Emmet Mullins. Dropping back in trip and the application of cheekpieces seemed to do the trick for the Arcadio gelding when having Prince Of Air back in third. The latter, a C&D winner, merits respect along with locally-owned Erigmoor, who placed behind Philip Rothwell's gelding on stable debut here in April.
Prediction : 1st Itsalonglongroad 2nd Falcon Park 3rd Prince Of Air

Willie Mullins runs two including the newcomer Marie's March who is a half-sister to smart chaser Real Steel. Patrick Mullins prefers El Fabienne but she has twice been a beaten favourite and looks vulnerable unless the fitting of a tongue-tie has the desired effect. Ebor winner Sesenta has produced a couple of bumper winners and her daughter PARGA DIAMOND has run creditably on her last couple of starts. Derek O'Connor partnered her for the first time when she was sixth in a competitive heat at Galway and is again in the plate. Joshua's Daylami, not far behind the selection at Galway, Downpatrick hurdles fourth Whitewinewednesday and Diamond Tipp, who showed promise when fifth at Cork, are others to consider.
Prediction : 1st Parga Diamond 2nd El Fabienne 3rd Whitewinewednesday
