UK Horse Racing Tips: Tramore

Sayitfirst is out of her depth, but there is very little between the other three on ratings. MA BELLE ETOILE scoped dirty after disappointing on her chase debut here in May, but has since bounced back to form. Easily accounting for six rivals at Wexford, she had a subsequent winner back in third. Successful in Grade 2 company over hurdles, Enjoy The Dream is without a win in six starts since switching to the larger obstacles. Beaten just half a length at this venue on her latest outing, though, it will come as no surprise if she manages to go a place better. Luminous Light is the only gelding in the line-up and, after a recent spin on the level at Galway, this four-time winner can't be dismissed.
Prediction : 1st Ma Belle Etoile 2nd Enjoy The Dream 3rd Luminous Light

David O'Brien does well with his runners at Tramore and looks to have found a nice opportunity for MIC DROP. The winner of a point-to-point and bumper, he failed to add to his tally over flights. Long regarded as a chaser in the making, he switches to the larger obstacles and it will be disappointing if he's not involved towards the business end. Hurricane Honey made the breakthrough at Downpatrick last month and will be well fancied to follow up now she tries chasing again. Third in handicap company here back in April, On Lovers Walk should give a good account of himself, while Cher Tara and El Champo are others for the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Mic Drop 2nd Hurricane Honey 3rd On Lovers Walk

With good experience over flights to his name, TATATEO should prove hard to beat. Going down by just a neck at Sligo, he then filled the runner-up spot again on his latest outing at Galway, where he encouragingly drew 17 lengths clear of the third. He had some well-fancied rivals behind him at Ballybrit and a reproduction of that effort would be enough to take this much weaker contest. A winner on the Flat at Leopardstown last week, Louiescall is the danger. He was well behind the selection when they clashed at Punchestown in June, but should get a lot closer now. A dual winner on the level, Fine Print represents John McConnell and Ben Harvey, with the pair taking this race for the last two years.
Prediction : 1st Tatateo 2nd Louiescall 3rd Fine Print

Four-year-olds have a good record in this feature contest and, with that in mind, RAYDAMANN is the selection. Running well in stronger contests of late and a solid fifth on his most recent start at Galway, his mark of 118 has remained unchanged. The hat-trick seeking Jerrari is the second choice. From the family of Jezki, the five-year-old is clearly a progressive sort and might still be ahead of the handicapper. Lurking at the bottom of the weights, Granpa Ger is tried in first-time cheekpieces and warrants the utmost respect with Danny Mullins aboard. Others for the shortlist in a competitive affair are the locally-trained Yosemite Gold, joint top-weight Expound and C&D winner Hasten Slowly.
Prediction : 1st Raydamann 2nd Jerrari 3rd Granpa Ger

Out of the brilliant Solerina, FACEMAN has turned a corner in recent starts. Making all at Kilbeggan, he then finished second to Ballykinlar at the Co Westmeath venue, with that one giving the form a boost by following up at Sligo last week. After registering a double at Downpatrick on Sunday, Sam Curling and Phillip Enright are represented by course winner Derryville. The highest-rated runner in the line-up, she has to give weight to all of her rivals. Although still a maiden, Time In A Bottle is of definite interest with Josh Williamson claiming 7lb. Runner-up three times from seven starts, she certainly wouldn't be winning out of turn. Already twice successful this campaign, Warriors Wood warrants the utmost respect, but Nashville Notions is likely to struggle.
Prediction : 1st Faceman 2nd Time In A Bottle 3rd Derryville

INCHIDALY COPPER might be able to exploit a much lower hurdles mark. Rated 21lb higher over fences, the nine-year-old has been disappointing in recent starts. However, he might enjoy returning to a track where he has won before and, with Andy Burke-Ott back in the saddle, it will be disappointing if he's not involved towards the business end. Belatedly making the breakthrough at Cork last week, The Border Boy went up just 5lb and it will come as no surprise if he manages to follow up. Third in that Cork heat, Thats All warrants the utmost respect, while others for the shortlist in a competitive affair are top-weight General Clermont, Glendine Billy (first-time cheekpieces) and the locally-trained Newport.
Prediction : 1st Inchidaly Copper 2nd The Border Boy 3rd Newport

Second in this race 12 months ago, WINTER FOG should prove hard to beat. A high-class performer over flights, he failed to make an impact in the Galway Hurdle on his latest start but although he finished 11th, he still had some smart performers behind. It's surprising that Jody Townend isn't aboard the Willie Mullins-trained selection, with the Grade 1-winning pilot instead partnering Master Sydney. Successful in a bumper at Roscommon, this Paul Flynn-trained four-year-old since failed to make an impact on her Flat debut at Galway. The Banger Doyle, Magnor Glory and Lord Ffrench are other leading contenders, with the latter successful over flights at Sligo last week.
Prediction : 1st Winter Fog 2nd Master Sydney 3rd Lord Ffrench
