UK Horse Racing Tips: Tramore

LLEM'S shaped well enough in two stronger races last winter to suggest he can go close in this company. The Gordon Elliott-trained gelding showed definite signs of ability on his debut when eighth in a big field at Punchestown. Although well beaten when falling at the last at Leopardstown over Christmas, that is traditionally quite a decent contest and it would be no surprise to see the five-year-old prove too good for this opposition. With an official rating of 89, Asthelightdeclines sets a clear standard. Mid-division at Kilbeggan on her reappearance, the Gavin Cromwell-trained filly is open to improvement. The locally-trained Ddakji is one to keep a close eye on in the betting.
Prediction : 1st Llems 2nd Asthelightdeclines 3rd Ddakji

Runner-up at this track in August, the locally-trained LANZHOU can go one place better. The lightly-raced five-year-old showed that he had a race of this nature in him when staying on well to reach the frame and it looks very significant that jockey Daniel King has stayed loyal to John Flavin's gelding. Listowel third Ahellofaman has to enter calculations. The form of that race received a boost when the second won over fences at Killarney last weekend. C&D winner Tingarran Express is always worth a second look at this venue.
Prediction : 1st Lanzhou 2nd Ahellofaman 3rd Tingarran Express

With Paul Townend in the saddle, BLUE TRIX would appear the pick of the two Willie Mullins contenders. Third on her most recent start at Downpatrick, the daughter of Blue Bresil is clearly open to plenty of improvement on just her third career outing and stepping up in trip here should see the five-year-old open her account. Stablemate Ronnie's Rascal might give the selection most to do. A 104-rated filly, she has been placed on her last two starts. Kilbeggan runner-up Tutu Twist is another with decent claims. Arguably unlucky to bump into a smart rival last time, the Henry de Bromhead-trained mare came into that contest with decent placed form.
Prediction : 1st Blue Trix 2nd Ronnies Rascal 3rd Tutu Twist

BRAVE JOSEE is given another chance, despite a below-par run at Wexford. Runner-up at Sligo on her previous start, Declan Queally's filly had her excuses when failing to back that up and a reproduction of her earlier effort would almost certainly see the daughter of Brave Mansonnien go close. A winner for previous connections at Uttoxeter in June, Kayla's Friend has to be of interest on her first start since rejoining her original trainer James Hannon. Top-weight Jacko Star could prove well handicapped off a mark of 106 if ready to do himself justice on his first start since February.
Prediction : 1st Brave Josee 2nd Kaylas Friend 3rd Jacko Star

LADY DOYANNE can register a first career win over regulation fences. A former point-to-point and hurdles victor, the Henry de Bromhead-trained mare has reached the frame on all four starts since going chasing. Third over C&D in May, the six-year-old has already proven her ability to act around this tight right-handed track. With Darragh O'Keeffe back in the saddle, she holds strong claims. A consistent gelding of late, Leave In Secret shouldn't be far away once again. Having raced over further on his most recent runs, the seven-year-old should appreciate this shorter trip. Wexford winner Farrokh, who finished in front of the selection last time, is another with every chance in a competitive affair.
Prediction : 1st Lady Doyanne 2nd Leave In Secret 3rd Farrokh

A winner of his last two starts over hurdles, CALM FLIGHT AHEAD can get his chasing career off to the perfect start. A lightly-raced Wings Of Eagles gelding, the Philip Rothwell-trained five-year-old makes the switch to fences relatively early on. Connections clearly feel that his future lies over the larger obstacles and he gets the chance to prove that here. Rattledelatch sets a decent standard on the form of his opening two runs over fences. Runner-up at this track in August, the John Queally-trained gelding again shaped with promise when fourth at Listowel last month. Third on his fencing debut at Downpatrick recently, Doctor Confusion is also of interest for the Henry de Bromhead stable.
Prediction : 1st Calm Flight Ahead 2nd Rattledelatch 3rd Doctor Confusion

Having run a big race when third on his introduction at Navan in March, COLOSSAL IMPACT can make the breakthrough. Leading for much of that contest, the five-year-old only gave best inside the final two furlongs. Sure to have benefited from the experience, he will be ideally suited to racing prominently around this much sharper track. Long Goodbye has shown enough on all three previous appearances to suggest he is good enough to win an average bumper. Georgie Benson looks a significant booking in a race of this nature and her presence on the Liz Doyle-trained gelding shouldn't be underestimated. Likewise, Jody Townend catches the eye on the Barry Fitzgerald-trained Josh's Jury.
Prediction : 1st Colossal Impact 2nd Long Goodbye 3rd Joshs Jury
