UK Horse Racing Tips: Tramore

Denis Hogan is two-handed here and perhaps his Seamie Heffernan-partnered MONO RIVER remains one to keep the faith with. It's disappointing that the Zarak gelding is still a maiden at this stage, but he has an official rating to give him every chance in this company and can show the benefit of a comeback effort at Roscommon recently. Given that he's a prolific winner and was victorious in this event a couple of years back, Magnetic North is sure to be a popular choice. Pachmena last competed on Derby weekend at the Curragh and will clearly find this level of opposition much less taxing.
Prediction : 1st Mono River 2nd Magnetic North 3rd Pachmena

It may be tempting to row in behind Aintree festival heroine Seo Linn, but she's been expensive to follow in recent times. Ted Walsh runners are ignored at one's peril at this venue, and FRIARY ROAD is the choice as he presumably builds towards something at the likes of Galway. The dual bumper scorer is unlikely to remain a maiden at this discipline for too long, and it'll be interesting to see if the addition of a tongue-strap can bring about some improvement. Back from a hurdling campaign, off a break, Jeaniemacaroney could prove more of a threat than the higher-rated Nelson Muntz.
Prediction : 1st Friary Road 2nd Seo Linn 3rd Jeaniemacaroney

Fratas has to be very much considered as she's pretty consistent and tough. Inchiquin Star has the capability to get involved on her best form with Joey Sheridan taking the reins for the first time. The vote, though, goes to STAR MIND. She has been a beaten favourite the last twice, but hasn't done much wrong with second place finishes. Going up in distance can see the selection gain a deserved win.
Prediction : 1st Star Mind 2nd Fratas 3rd Inchiquin Star

Declan Queally's new recruit HAWKESBURY LEGEND might be capable of providing connections with a quick return on investment. The former Kevin Philippart De Foy inmate began for the local handler in the first three-year-old hurdle of the season at Tipperary recently. Completely friendless in the betting on that occasion, the Nathaniel gelding put in a performance in keeping with market expectations. New headgear is deployed now, and a talented apprentice is booked. Encouragingly Hawkesbury Legend's previous win was gained at Brighton, so he ought not to have a problem with the demands of Tramore. Previous winners at the venue, Rockview Consort and Out On Friday, are among the others that need considering.
Prediction : 1st Hawkesbury Legend 2nd Out On Friday 3rd Rockview Consort

Tramore specialist Itsalonglongroad will justifiably be appealing to many, but it's another that's been competing over jumps, SPINNING WEB, that gets the nod. He's got plenty of time on his side yet, as a five-year-old, and he's still off a very workable mark in this sphere. Your Honor has slipped down the handicap and may be worth a chance back on a sounder surface.
Prediction : 1st Spinning Web 2nd Itsalonglongroad 3rd Your Honor

One previous Tramore excursion yielded a close up third placing in a handicap hurdle for WALKING ON GLASS, way back in his four-year-old days in 2019. Now at the veteran stage and with vast experience under his belt, this looks a good assignment for Padraig Roche's charge. Sam Coen's claim can only be seen as a positive to the chances of the Big Bad Bob gelding, and his latest effort, when third in a Punchestown handicap hurdle, was encouraging. Lord Erskine is still doing his connections proud and seems sure to go well in his quest to repeat 2023's success in this marathon. Sequoiaspirit hasn't run on the Flat since last summer but he's not to be dismissed now in a first-time tongue-strap.
Prediction : 1st Walking On Glass 2nd Lord Erskine 3rd Sequoiaspirit

The market will hopefully be illuminating with regard to the returning RAUZAN, but there's no doubt that the Australia gelding is attractive from a mark of 59 on his first run of 2025. He's two from three in his hurdling endeavours at Tramore, and he last competed in that sphere from a rating of 127. With Wesley Joyce aboard for the first time, the strong stayer may not be long about going on a winning spree to match what he did over hurdles last summer, when he won four on the bounce. Bynx, who won here over hurdles at the start of 2024 and the summer before that too, looks well placed to launch a serious bid, while Duke Otto appeals as a player as well.
Prediction : 1st Rauzan 2nd Bynx 3rd Duke Otto
