UK Horse Racing Tips: Tramore

PLONTIER is interesting on his first outing for Terence O'Brien. The 10-year-old won plenty of races on the Flat earlier in his career, between Poland, France and Spain. He was a smart sort over hurdles for Willie Mullins and may retain enough ability to score at this level. His mark of 87 sets the standard and the two rivals here with similar ratings have something to prove. Royal Approval pulled up over hurdles at Listowel on his return, but had some decent Flat form in England and could be a danger. Persian Bliss was pulled up at Down Royal and bled, which would be a concern.
Prediction : 1st Plontier 2nd Royal Approval 3rd Persian Bliss

This looks like a nice opportunity for DREAM ON BABY to bag a win on the Flat. The smart hurdler, a Grade 2 runner-up at Doncaster in January, has her first outing since finishing well beaten in the Mares' Hurdle at Cheltenham. She was runner-up in three Flat maidens last season, including around here, and can add to her CV. El Galvino looks the danger. The Outstrip gelding disappointed when last seen at Dundalk in February, but had been placed twice at that venue previously. Colin Keane is an eyecatching booking for recent chase winner Jetoile and he's another to note.
Prediction : 1st Dream On Baby 2nd El Galvino 3rd Jetoile

There could be a bit more to come from MARMELADOVA now stepping up in trip. The Inns Of Court mare stayed on without getting to the leaders around the sharp track at Ballinrobe last time. That came over just shy of 10 furlongs and she looks worth a shot at a mile and a half. Daboya comes here in winning form and did it easily over slightly further at Ballinrobe. She looks like an obvious danger, despite a 7lb rise. Sea Coral drops in trip after weakening at the Curragh. She is slipping down the handicap and may be capable of better.
Prediction : 1st Marmeladova 2nd Daboya 3rd Sea Coral

HIGHWAY SIXTY ONE has a nice low draw and may be able to land a moderate race. The four-year-old was only a neck behind Chopsticks when fifth at Fairyhouse and meets him on the same terms. The fact that he has an inside berth compared to his rival's wide stall could make all the difference. Chopsticks has run well on his last couple of outings and is a solid performer for this grade. Course regular Itsalonglongroad isn't getting any younger, but is a five-time Tramore winner and has slipped to a low mark. He could run a big race.
Prediction : 1st Highway Sixty One 2nd Chopsticks 3rd Itsalonglongroad

There looks to be a race in GUY'S GIRL off this kind of mark. The Willie McCreery-trained filly was caught wide at Ballinrobe last time, losing her early pitch before having to make ground up on the outer on the home bend. She ran well in the circumstances to finish third and has a better draw this time. Forlio was a touch unlucky in running on his return to the Flat at Naas. Colin Keane is an eyecatching booking now and he is respected. Showyoutheropes had a couple of decent runs for Ger O'Leary at Dundalk earlier in the year and is another to note.
Prediction : 1st Guys Girl 2nd Forlio 3rd Showyoutheropes

LIBERATED LIGHT won over hurdles here on his last visit and may be able to repeat the trick back on the Flat. The Muhaarar gelding had also been collared late on on a previous visit and course form is always a big plus here. Matt Connor, an improver over hurdles last season, won on the Flat at Gowran Park back in April. He is respected, although this trip would be a slight concern. Inchiquin Maid was a big price when winning over two miles at Dundalk back in February. She also has to come into calculations on her return from a break.
Prediction : 1st Liberated Light 2nd Matt Connor 3rd Inchiquin Maid

HE WHO DARES was a cosy winner over hurdles at Wexford on Friday evening and may be able to bag a quick follow-up win. The Harzand gelding overcame some trouble in running before posting a cosy three-and-a-quarter-length success. That was a significant improvement in form and a low mark of 60 on his handicap debut on the Flat looks attractive. You Make Me Smile has been knocking on the door, both over hurdles and on the level, and should be thereabouts again. Synchronize has posted a couple of decent efforts since returning to the Flat recently and is another to consider.
Prediction : 1st He Who Dares 2nd You Make Me Smile 3rd Synchronize
