UK Horse Racing Tips: Tramore

A switch to more aggressive tactics saw Rocky's Diamond making all over hurdles at Kilbeggan six days ago and that should have done his confidence the world of good. The six-year-old merits respect in his follow-up bid, but it could be worth chancing the up-in-distance MORE COKO in receipt of weight. Willie Mullins' inmate should find this easier than his recent efforts in handicap company and he has less to prove than most. Thecompanysergeant is the pick of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st More Coko 2nd Rockys Diamond 3rd Thecompanysergeant

MY CULLEN posted his best effort since joining Shark Hanlon when headed on the run-in to finish second at Kilbeggan 21 days ago. A 2lb nudge up in the ratings looks workable for the six-year-old and compensation could be imminent. Although Mercurial Sea returned to form with a good second in a maiden hurdle at Downpatrick, the assessor has reacted in kind with a 6lb higher mark. With that in mind, a bigger threat may emerge from fellow chase debutant Not So Serious, who got off the mark at Ballinrobe last month.
Prediction : 1st My Cullen 2nd Not So Serious 3rd Mercurial Sea

Henry De Bromhead won this last year and has solid chances again this season with Wexford second Chasing Blues, who could prove hard to keep out of the frame. World As One ran his best race yet over hurdles when third at Ballinrobe, beaten a length and a half, and is hard to ignore for Willie Mullins, but SIMPLE THINGS could be the one. Back in maiden company after some solid handicap efforts including a couple of places, she gets 3lb from her male rivals and should go well in the J P McManus colours.
Prediction : 1st Simple Things 2nd Chasing Blues 3rd World As One

Tingarran Express is the only C&D winner in this field after she scored off a mark 98 in this race last season and as she races off just 2lb higher now, she demands plenty of respect with Carl Millar claiming 5lb from the saddle. Like An Ocean makes her handicap debut after winning a maiden hurdle at Roscommon before hanging badly when seventh at Galway and she could outrun her odds, but GALILEO SPRINGS gets the nod. Fit from the Flat, she was last seen over hurdles when a solid third at Punchestown, and a repeat of that might be all she needs.
Prediction : 1st Galileo Springs 2nd Tingarran Express 3rd Like An Ocean

Willie Mullins trained two of the last nine winners and if he allows Room For One More to go quickly back into battle, she might have a chance of a top three finish. HELLO BELOW finished second on her last two point-to-points at Loughrea and Ballingarry and although yet to hit that level over hurdles, first-time cheekpieces could possibly bring her back to her best in a race that won't take too much winning. Quiet In Bresil is officially the best of those with a rating, and could also get involved.
Prediction : 1st Hello Below 2nd Room For One More 3rd Quiet In Bresil

Declan Queally's string have been in sensational nick recently and whilst the trainer keeps the partnership intact with Galway Festival scorer MIGHTY BERKSHIRE, that trend could be set to continue. A subsequent 7lb rise will obviously demand more of the six-year-old, but he's still lightly raced over obstacles and should have more in his locker. That could also apply to Downpatrick winner Tolka Row, who is unlikely to go under the radar this time around. Jacko Star and Latopix are others to consider.
Prediction : 1st Mighty Berkshire 2nd Tolka Row 3rd Jacko Star

Seldom does Willie Mullins emerge from a bumper without claiming at least a share of the prize money, and his representative LONG'WAY wouldn't need to be anything out of the ordinary to make a winning start. The Galiway mare was a relatively inexpensive purchase at 10,000 euros, but she's a full-sister to a dual-French hurdles winner and makes more than enough appeal on paper. Mountain Sky has twice hit the crossbar already and looks to be the main threat, though Harry Swan is an interesting booking aboard Moonhall Lad.
Prediction : 1st Longway 2nd Mountain Sky 3rd Moonhall Lad
