UK Horse Racing Tips: Tramore

Mawhibah took a step forward when fourth at Limerick and is going in the right direction. Shay Wallace's 7lb allowance helps the three-year-old's cause on this occasion and she is preferred to Phlox and Essential Comedy. However, Paddy Twomey trained last year's winner and he introduces SEA OF THE CELTS here. The first foal of a winner between 1m4f to 1m6f, she cost 525,000gns as a yearling and the daughter of Sea The Stars may prove good enough at the first time of asking.
Prediction : 1st Sea Of The Celts 2nd Mawhibah 3rd Phlox

Bumper and hurdles winner Davy Crockett debuts on the level representing powerful connections and he should be noted, while smart chaser Solness could only manage fourth at the Curragh last month on his first start on the Flat. The latter makes more appeal than stablemate Metallic, but this could go the way of GLITTERING GEM. Narrowly beaten at Sligo recently, Dermot Weld's Frankel filly will appreciate this extra test of stamina and is taken to open her account.
Prediction : 1st Glittering Gem 2nd Davy Crockett 3rd Solness

Rodeo Blues failed in her bid for a hat-trick when only fifth at Galway last time. She has something to prove off her current mark, while Mare Crisium has more scope and this shorter distance could see her in the mix. However, MAXMINELLI has been threatening to get his head in front of late and after finding only one too good over an extended 1m4f at Limerick last month, Henry De Bromhead's charge could be the one to side with.
Prediction : 1st Maxminelli 2nd Mare Crisium 3rd Rodeo Blues

A 1lb nudge up in the ratings for LIMESTONE RED's close-up second at Killarney could prove to be lenient. The six-year-old enjoyed the step up in distance that day and this extra yardage shouldn't prevent another bold showing. Metamorpheus has filled the runner-up spot on his last two outings over hurdles and he's an obvious threat reverting to the level. Spinning Web could also have a say in reapplied blinkers.
Prediction : 1st Limestone Red 2nd Metamorpheus 3rd Spinning Web

A rise in class was enough to thwart Daboya in her hat-trick bid when finishing last at Gowran Park on Wednesday, but better is expected in these calmer waters. However, MARMELADOVA is a bit more appealing on the pick of her form and it's easy to forgive her latest disappointing effort over an inadequate mile at the Curragh. Merlin The Wizard is unexposed over this distance and it would be no surprise if he could conjure up an improved performance.
Prediction : 1st Marmeladova 2nd Daboya 3rd Merlin The Wizard

Filey Bay should improve despite finishing a distant 19th at Galway, remembering that was his first start in over nine months. He won a competitive Galway handicap last summer and a market watch may be the way forward. Miss Gitana posted a much better effort with a close third at Leopardstown last time and could feature again, but DELTA is preferred. A three-quarter-length second at Leopardstown last month, a repeat of that may be all Joseph O'Brien's gelding needs.
Prediction : 1st Delta 2nd Miss Gitana 3rd Filey Bay

In a wide-open contest, VERVAIN is more consistent than most, following a pair of fourth places with the runner-up spot at Gowran Park when going under by a head. Cheekpieces and an added half-mile may yet bring out the best of the Acclamation filly whose stamina defies her pedigree. Lariat was a C&D second off the same mark in July and looks a serious rival, and is 9lb better off with winner Bynx, who has run well over fences since.
Prediction : 1st Vervain 2nd Lariat 3rd Bynx
