16:10 Tramore Maiden 12f - 6 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
3	3 (3) (1.25/1 +9%) Astar	1.25 1.25/1(+9%)	(3) Astar 1.25/1, Fairly useful filly. Remains a maiden after 7 Flat runs. Good second of 13 in handicap at Galway (12.4f, heavy, 5/1) 19 days ago. The one to beat. Consistent and hit the frame in her last 5 starts; showed she handles conditions latest.
4	4 (4) (1.75/1 +7%) Delicate Girl	1.75 1.75/1(+7%)	(4) Delicate Girl 1.75/1, Promising type. Second of 10 in maiden (11/2) at Galway (12f, good to soft) 15 days ago. Should improve and likely to be involved in the finish. Improved with each run and big effort from the front at Galway latest; big player.
1	1 (1) (4.5/1 +0%) Aird	4.5 4.5/1(+0%)	(1) Aird 4.5/1, Thrice-raced filly. Fifth of 12 in maiden at Leopardstown (12f, good, 3/1) 58 days ago. Should be in the mix. Improved from sole 2yo run to finish 3rd on return; didn't build on that latest.
2	2 (2) (9/1 +0%) As Fast As Wind	9 9/1(+0%)	(2) As Fast As Wind 9/1, Fair filly. Creditable second of 14 in maiden at Bellewstown (12.1f, good to soft, 25/1) 43 days ago, no match for winner. First run for yard after leaving Adrian Murray and sports a first-time visor. Kept busy at 2 and has trained on; beaten 4l when 2nd latest; bit more exposed than some.
5	5 (5) (80/1 +0%) Melrose Duchess	80 80/1(+0%)	(5) Melrose Duchess 80/1, Twice-raced filly. 200/1, fourteenth of 17 in maiden at Gowran (9.4f, good to soft) 62 days ago. Up in trip. Shown little in two starts so far; up in trip.
6	6 (6) (100/1 +0%) Pretty Company	100 100/1(+0%)	(6) Pretty Company 100/1, Thrice-raced filly. Last of 12 in maiden at Cork (6f, good, 200/1) 22 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Poor form in three starts so far; steps up in trip.

LTO Selection:

ASTAR looks the best option as the forecast deluge over Tramore will not inconvenience her at all. She has been placed in her last five starts, including when runner-up on heavy ground at Galway last October. Her latest outing also came in Ballybrit last month where she took the runner-up berth in a testing-ground handicap. The horse behind her in third won on her next start in Galway. The form of Aird's opening fifth in Leopardstown has been very well franked. She has been placed over this trip in the Curragh and looks a contender. Delicate Girl is going the right way and finished second in Galway on her third outing, although she may not want the ground to get too deep. As Fast As Wind has changed stables, but has shown more than enough to be competitive.

DELICATE GIRL has improved with each of her three starts to date and, having chased home a potentially a useful type at Galway recently, she is taken to go one better here. She certainly won't get things all her own way, given that Astar has been knocking firmly on the door and should gain a deserved first taste of success before long, while both Aird and As Fast As Wind have also shown enough to suggest that they are capable of winning races.

16:10 Tramore Maiden 12f PREDICTION SIMULATION

16:45 Tramore Maiden 12f - 8 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
4	4 (4) (1.88/1 -7%) Eastmore	1.88 1.88/1(-7%)	(4) Eastmore 1.88/1, Twice-raced gelding. Third of 12 in maiden at Killarney (11.2f, good to soft, 7/1) 33 days ago, edged out final strides. Repeat gives him sound claims of getting off the amrk here. Highly promising debut when beaten 4l built on that with half length defeat since.
7	7 (7) (2.75/1 +0%) Lygon Street	2.75 2.75/1(+0%)	(7) Lygon Street 2.75/1, Lightly-raced colt. 11/2 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, good fourth of 18 in minor event at the Curragh (12f, good) 50 days ago. Blinkers on 1st time and he's a likely player. Running to a fairly consistent level in four outings so far but others have achieved more.
2	2 (2) (4/1 +0%) The Mediator	4 4/1(+0%)	(2) The Mediator 4/1, Bumper winner who has showed fairly useful form at best in defeat over hurdles. Underwhelming in that sphere in recent outings (let down by jumping) but he's an interesting contender now trying his hand in this sphere. Some useful maiden hurdle form and possible this test will suit; has plenty of stamina.
3	3 (3) (6/1 +0%) Vadsa Queen	6 6/1(+0%)	(3) Vadsa Queen 6/1, Fair useful winner at 17f in bumpers. One-raced on Flat, shaping with a little encouragement when sixth in 10-runner Glaway maiden (12f) 15 days ago, outpaced over 2f out but keeping on. Type to do better in this sphere, particularly when stamina is drawn out further. Won a bumper here but was outpaced over this trip at Galway 15 days ago.
1	1 (1) (14/1 +0%) Dream Escape	14 14/1(+0%)	(1) Dream Escape 14/1, Lightly-raced gelding. 40/1, respectable ninth of 18 in handicap at Galway (12f, good to soft) 16 days ago, plugging on. Needs to get back on track here. No improvement for h'caps incl' at this trip latest and has a fair bit to find.
8	8 (8) (14/1 +0%) Tom The Second	14 14/1(+0%)	(8) Tom The Second 14/1, Thrice-raced gelding. 28/1, last of 12 in maiden at the Curragh (10f, good) 84 days ago. Tongue strap on 1st time. Minor promise but sole run over this trip on testing ground saw him tailed off.
6	6 (6) (40/1 +0%) Grann's Boy	40 40/1(+0%)	(6) Grann's Boy 40/1, Twice-raced gelding. Seventh of 11 in maiden at Galway (8.3f, soft, 28/1) 14 days ago. Significantly up in trip now but he rates a likely type for low-grade handicaps moving forward. Minor promise in two starts so far but has a mountain to climb.
5	5 (5) (66/1 +0%) Fulltime	66 66/1(+0%)	(5) Fulltime 66/1, Fulbright gelding. Half-brother to 3 winners, including useful winner up to 1¼m Goodwood Zodiac and 9.4f winner Collaborating. Fulbright gelding; half-brother to three Flat winners but this looks tough on debut.

LTO Selection:

EASTMORE has shown enough on two starts to date to suggest a race of this nature is within his capabilities. The Kevin Prendergast-trained gelding made a promising debut at Fairyhouse in June, before getting even closer at Killarney on his second start. This looks easier than both those aforementioned contests so the Awtaad three-year-old should be able to get his head in front. Lygon Street wore cheekpieces when fourth in the Apprentice Derby last month. That headgear is replaced by blinkers here, something that suggests the Joseph O'Brien-trained colt isn't the most straightforward. He undoubtedly has the ability to get involved off a rating of 75 but his attitude has to be questionable. Vadsa Queen, a bumper winner at this track recently, wouldn't need to improve a great deal to be a factor.

EASTMORE matched his debut effort (fairly useful form) when finishing a close-up third in a Killarney maiden 33 days ago and a repeat here may well be enough to see him open his account. Lygon Street and The Mediator, who boasts fairly ueful form over hurdles, head up the dangers.

16:45 Tramore Maiden 12f PREDICTION SIMULATION

17:20 Tramore Stakes 12f - 7 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
2	2 (2) (1.63/1 +0%) Fratas	1.63 1.63/1(+0%)	(2) Fratas 1.63/1, Fair filly. Career best when winning 17-runner handicap (11/2) at Galway (8.4f, good to soft) 15 days ago, driven out. Likely to go well. Ran twice at Galway, gaining 2nd win of season latest; new mark makes life tougher.
6	6 (6) (4/1 +0%) Kermiya	4 4/1(+0%)	(6) Kermiya 4/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 40/1, fifth of 13 in maiden at Killarney (11.2f, good to soft) 33 days ago. Should progress. Weld held first 2 starts but showed more latest and on a good mark for h'cap debut.
7	7 (7) (7/1 +0%) Jazz Forever	7 7/1(+0%)	(7) Jazz Forever 7/1, Fair gelding. 25/1, respectable 4¾ lengths seventh of 17 to Fratas in handicap at Galway (8.4f, good to soft) 15 days ago. Stamina an unknown going significantly up in trip. Promise on AW; below form since but chance the new trip could suit and on a fair mark.
5	5 (5) (7.5/1 +0%) Timeless Piece	7.5 7.5/1(+0%)	(5) Timeless Piece 7.5/1, Fair filly. Winner at Gowran in May. Eighth of 9 in handicap at Galway (8.3f, soft, 8/1) 13 days ago. Significantly up in trip. 1m Gowran winner earlier in campaign; form dipped latest and may not want this ground.
3	3 (3) (8/1 +0%) Dalliances	8 8/1(+0%)	(3) Dalliances 8/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, fourth of 8 in maiden (10/1) at Down Royal (10.3f, good) 56 days ago. Only beaten 4l second time; outpaced over 1m2f since; stamina in pedigree but tough mark.
4	4 (4) (9/1 +0%) Skyquake	9 9/1(+0%)	(4) Skyquake 9/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Twelfth of 18 in minor event at the Curragh (12f, good, 14/1) 50 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Likely to be thereabouts. Best effort when beaten 6l at the Curragh latest but more needed to defy this mark.
1	1 (1) (14/1 -17%) Fanaigi Linn	14 14/1(-17%)	(1) Fanaigi Linn 14/1, Fair filly. 4/1, first run since leaving Jim Bolger when sixth of 7 in maiden at Ballinrobe (9.4f, good to soft) 26 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Improved towards end of her time with Jim Bolger; low-key yard debut latest though.

LTO Selection:

Recent Galway winner FRATAS should take plenty of beating under leading apprentice Jamie Powell. The Michael Mulvany-trained filly, who has been in excellent form in handicaps of late, is well treated by these race conditions once taking Powell's claim into account. A prominent racer, the daughter of Fracas should prove difficult to pass from the front. Dalliances, a half-sister to a black type filly, has yet to trouble the judge in three starts but it is far too early to write her off. The Johnny Murtagh-trained filly may well appreciate the step up to this trip for the first time. Kermiya, a stablemate of the latter, also catches the eye on just her fourth racecourse appearance. The Aga Khan-owned filly is also bred to do a lot better in time.

It might be worth chancing the well-bred KERMIYA to improve past some of these more exposed rivals. Fratas rates an obvious danger on the back of her recent Galway win, while Skyquake is another low-mileage filly who may not have reached her limit.

This can go the way of the handicap debutante KERMIYA who showed more at Killarney last time and looks leniently treated

17:20 Tramore Stakes 12f PREDICTION SIMULATION

17:50 Tramore Handicap 12f - 15 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
12	12 (12) (2.75/1 +0%) Spinning Web	2.75 2.75/1(+0%)	(12) Spinning Web 2.75/1, Fair winner at 2m over hurdles. Best effort yet on Flat when second of 13 in handicap at Sligo (10.5f, good to soft, 3/1) 10 days ago, pushed along 2f out and keeping on. Feasible to think he can do better again upped further in trip. Landed a maiden hurdle before a solid effort back on the Flat and should appreciate 1m4f.
3	3 (3) (5.5/1 +0%) Pale Moonlight	5.5 5.5/1(+0%)	(3) Pale Moonlight 5.5/1, Bit below form sixth of 16 in handicap (7/1) at Leopardstown (12.8f, good to soft) 30 days ago, in rear and making late headway. That was his first start for 3 months and he may well be sharper here. 1m winner in 2021; losing run since and has looked regressive of late; enough to prove.
2	2 (2) (6.5/1 +0%) Action Motion	6.5 6.5/1(+0%)	(2) Action Motion 6.5/1, Creditable fifth of 15 in handicap at Killarney (11.2f, good, 11/1) 31 days ago, no extra final 100 yds. May sharpen up for that effort and fancied to make his presence felt. 0-13 on the Flat but ran with credit when beaten 3l latest and may come on for that.
9	9 (9) (7/1 +0%) Macinamillion	7 7/1(+0%)	(9) Macinamillion 7/1, 7/1, creditable sixth of 13 in handicap at Down Royal (12.8f, good to soft) 22 days ago, outpaced approaching final 1f. Improved from h'cap debut to finish 3rd 2 starts ago and not beaten far again latest.
1	1 (1) (7/1 +0%) Chatterbox	7 7/1(+0%)	(1) Chatterbox 7/1, 15/2, respectable eighth of 13 in handicap at Tipperary (12.5f, soft) 8 days ago, never better than midfield. Has good chance on pick of form from what rates a workable mark. 0-9; running okay in defeat in 2 runs this term but may need to come down the weights.
8	8 (8) (9/1 +10%) Breagagh	9 9/1(+10%)	(8) Breagagh 9/1, Remains a maiden after 20 Flat runs. 12/1, very good second of 18 in handicap at Naas (8f, soft) 24 days ago. Significantly up in trip. 0-31; arrives on the back of a career best and worth another go at this trip.
14	14 (14) (14/1 +0%) Dinamine	14 14/1(+0%)	(14) Dinamine 14/1, Remains a maiden after 23 Flat runs. Fourteenth of 16 in handicap (11/2) at Bellewstown (14.4f, good to soft) 44 days ago. Reserve 2. 0-23; runner-up at Limerick on yard debut but tailed off at Bellewstown since; reserve.
6	6 (6) (16/1 +0%) White Strand	16 16/1(+0%)	(6) White Strand 16/1, Tenth of 13 in handicap (33/1) at Tipperary (12.5f, soft) 8 days ago, fading. Visor back on now but others make greater appeal. Promise early in his career but shown nothing in three runs this term.
7	7 (7) (16/1 +0%) Cleopatra's Needle	16 16/1(+0%)	(7) Cleopatra's Needle 16/1, Ninth of 13 in handicap at Bellewstown (12.1f, good to soft, 10/1) 43 days ago, headed over 1f out and weakening. Others make greater appeal for win purposes. Good third of 17 at Tipperary in May but struggled twice since incl' back at 1m4f latest.
4	4 (4) (20/1 +0%) Bardo Contiguo	20 20/1(+0%)	(4) Bardo Contiguo 20/1, Fourteen runs since last win in 2020. Eleventh of 14 in handicap at Sligo (13.2f, good to soft, 20/1) 10 days ago. Needs to step up on recent efforts to figure. Losing run since 2020 and hard to recommend after two particularly poor runs of late.
13	13 (13) (20/1 +9%) Stormie Outlook	20 20/1(+9%)	(13) Stormie Outlook 20/1, Tongue strap on for 1st time in this code, seventh of 10 in novice hurdle (22/1) at Sligo (17.8f, good to soft) 9 days ago. Tongue strap back on. Fair on the Flat, good on last Flat outing. Reserve 1. Tailed off last 2 hurdle starts but running well in defeat on the Flat previously; reserve.
11	11 (11) (25/1 +11%) Elsa's Pride	25 25/1(+11%)	(11) Elsa's Pride 25/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 18/1, tenth of 15 in handicap at Killarney (11.2f, good to soft) 33 days ago, slowly away. Cheekpieces on 1st time and it remains early days at least. Modest maiden form and struggled on handicap bow latest.
15	15 (15) (25/1 +11%) Scalor	25 25/1(+11%)	(15) Scalor 25/1, Seventh of 11 in handicap (28/1) at this course (16f, good to soft) 39 days ago. Back down in trip. Reserve 3. 0-13 on the Flat and out of form of late; reserve.
10	10 (10) (28/1 +7%) Ballyvohane	28 28/1(+7%)	(10) Ballyvohane 28/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 8/1, eleventh of 13 in handicap at Sligo (10.5f, good to soft) 10 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Has work to do. Struggled in 4 starts so far incl' h'cap bow latest; needs improvement for step up in trip.
5	5 (5) (66/1 -32%) Say It So	66 66/1(-32%)	(5) Say It So 66/1, Fourteenth of 18 in novice hurdle at Cork (16.9f, good to soft, 150/1) 36 days ago. Up in trip. Modest on the Flat, respectable on last Flat outing. Others more persuasive. 0-12; tailed off in 2 recent hurdle starts; doesn't look well treated back on the level.

LTO Selection:

The lightly-raced SPINNING WEB remains open to further improvement in this lowly grade. A juvenile hurdle winner at Tipperary last month, the Mags Mullins-trained three-year-old went very close on his return to the Flat at Sligo last time. With the eventual winner getting first run on that occasion, the effort of the Fascinating Rock gelding deserves upgrading. Breagagh, a half-brother to a smart sprinter, had been running well over hurdles before his runner-up effort at Naas recently. Although that latter run came at a mile, the son of Slade Power may well find this trip to be his optimum. Chatterbox is another that is worthy of consideration, especially now that her trainer has his string firing on all cylinders after a few quiet months.

CHATTERBOX remains a maiden on the back of 9 career starts but appeals as being on a workable mark judged on the pick of those exploits and, having not been seen to best effect at Tipperary 8 days ago, she shades the vote to come out on top. 3-y-o Spinning Web is highly respected on the back of his good Sligo second now upped in trip, with Action Motion another to consider.

This may be a good opportunity for ACTION MOTION (nap) who wasn't beaten far latest and gives the impression he could be well treated

18:20 Tramore Handicap 12f - 15 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
6	6 (6) (5/1 +0%) Fond Farewell	5 5/1(+0%)	(6) Fond Farewell 5/1, 1 win from 2 runs this year. Winner at Limerick in April. 5/2, below form ninth of 16 in handicap at Limerick (11.3f, good) 57 days ago. Needs a couple of these to falter. Won seasonal return in April but beaten at short odds next time; freshened up since.
7	7 (7) (6/1 +8%) Night Moon	6 6/1(+8%)	(7) Night Moon 6/1, Good second of 4 in handicap at Ffos Las (10f, heavy, 8/11) 11 days ago. Can give another good account. 0-6 but only beaten a head at Ffos Las last week and handles conditions.
9	9 (9) (6/1 +0%) Contrapposto	6 6/1(+0%)	(9) Contrapposto 6/1, 10/1, good second of 14 in handicap at Sligo (13.2f, good to soft) 10 days ago, conceding first run. Down the field over hurdles here 2 days ago, but big player on recent Flat form. 1-44 on Flat but returned to form last 2 runs; strike-rate off-putting but not ruled out.
4	4 (4) (7/1 +0%) Oakley	7 7/1(+0%)	(4) Oakley 7/1, Fair ex-German 14f winner. Good second of 7 in minor event at Leipzig (15.2f, good, 4/1). Off 110 days. Down in trip. First run for yard after leaving Dr Andreas Bolte and can't be dismissed. 1m7f winner in Germany; likely best watched on yard debut after 110 days off.
8	8 (8) (8/1 +0%) Slieve Bearnagh	8 8/1(+0%)	(8) Slieve Bearnagh 8/1, Respectable eighth of 15 in handicap at Killarney (11.2f, good, 4/1) 31 days ago. Not taken lightly at these weights. Losing run goes back nearly 2 year; running okay in defeat this term; not well treated.
3	3 (3) (8/1 +0%) Estepona Sun	8 8/1(+0%)	(3) Estepona Sun 8/1, Thirteen runs since last win in 2020. 6/1, respectable fourth of 14 in novice hurdle at Kilbeggan (16f, good to soft) 7 days ago. Fair on the Flat, so no forlorn hope. Losing run since a claimer in 2020; running okay in defeat over hurdles but vulnerable.
5	5 (5) (12/1 -20%) Baile Locha Riach	12 12/1(-20%)	(5) Baile Locha Riach 12/1, 10/1 and tongue strap on for 1st time, thirteenth of 16 in handicap at Leopardstown (12.8f, good to soft) 30 days ago. Others more persuasive. Best run came when beaten 5l at Down Royal in June; tailed off since and stamina to prove.
12	12 (12) (14/1 +0%) Sleepless Knight	14 14/1(+0%)	(12) Sleepless Knight 14/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 40/1, respectable fifth of 13 in handicap at Sligo (10.5f, good to soft) 10 days ago. In the mix. Hasn't shown enough in 5 runs so far including handicaps on last two outings; best watched.
13	13 (13) (16/1 +0%) Lord Park	16 16/1(+0%)	(13) Lord Park 16/1, One win from 28 Flat runs. Below form tenth of 16 in handicap (20/1) at Gowran (8f, heavy) 123 days ago. Significantly back up in trip with more needed. RESERVE 1-28 and on losing run since Sligo maiden win over two years ago; off 4 months; reserve.
15	15 (15) (16/1 +0%) Maura's Gift	16 16/1(+0%)	(15) Maura's Gift 16/1, Below form ninth of 17 in handicap (12/1) at Navan (10f, soft) 35 days ago. Can give a good account if shrugging off latest effort. RESERVE Dundalk in November but lesser form since; must prove she's as effective on turf; reserve.
1	1 (1) (22/1 -10%) Inchiquin Maid	22 22/1(-10%)	(1) Inchiquin Maid 22/1, Excellent third of 15 in novice hurdle at Cork (24f, good to soft, 9/1) 36 days ago. Fair on the Flat, so much respected on her handicap debut. 0-10; unplaced in 7 Flat starts but has creditable races in defeat and 1m4f may suit.
11	11 (11) (33/1 -32%) Charlie Darling	33 33/1(-32%)	(11) Charlie Darling 33/1, 33/1, very good fourth of 12 in claimer at Sligo (10.5f, good to soft) 10 days ago. Needs to back it up now. Fourth in a claimer latest; doesn't look well treated and has a poor record on soft.
2	2 (2) (33/1 -32%) Ciao Adios	33 33/1(-32%)	(2) Ciao Adios 33/1, 7/1, respectable fifth of 9 in handicap at Bath (11.6f, good to firm) 45 days ago, never nearer.

10	10 (10) (50/1 -52%) Stepdance	50 50/1(-52%)	(10) Stepdance 50/1, 50/1, ninth of 14 in handicap at Ballinrobe (12.6f, good to soft) 26 days ago. Must improve. Yet to get involved in 7 runs so far; no improvement for 1m4f latest.

LTO Selection:

OAKLEY is an intriguing contender on his Irish debut for trainer Tony Mullins. While the five-year-old is unlikely to ever reach the lofty heights attained by another of his stables former German imports, Princess Zoe, he has to be interesting off a mark of 60. It is worth bearing in mind that the aforementioned mare was just beat in a similar grade off only 4lb higher on her first run in this country. Night Moon was just beaten at Ffos Las last time, having made most in a stronger race at Killarney previously. This track will suit the David Marnane-trained three-year-old. Estepona Sun has been running over hurdles of late and is of interest back on the level.

CONTRAPPOSTO is on a long losing run but signalled his turn is near when an excellent second at Sligo so can go one better off the same mark here provided he is none the worse for his exertions here over hurdles on Thursday. Slieve Bearnagh is another who is weighted to go close and he is next on the list ahead of Inchiquin Maid and Estepona Sun who both revert to this sphere.

Having proven himself in testing conditions last week, NIGHT MOON can give another good account and this new trip is likely to suit

18:50 Tramore Handicap 12f - 8 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
7	7 (7) (2.5/1 +17%) Royal Eagle	2.5 2.5/1(+17%)	(7) Royal Eagle 2.5/1, Won this race off a 5 lb lower mark 12 months ago and arrives on the back of some good efforts over hurdles, including a win here 2 days ago. Likely to make a bold bid to defend her crown. Won this last year from 5lb lower; not seen on the Flat since but running well over timber.
2	2 (2) (3.5/1 +0%) Vischio	3.5 3.5/1(+0%)	(2) Vischio 3.5/1, C&D winner. 2 wins from 3 runs this year. 8/1, creditable fourth of 18 in handicap hurdle at Galway (16.5f, good to soft) 17 days ago. Only beaten 3l over timber latest; won previous 2 Flat starts; more testing ground here.
3	3 (3) (3.5/1 +0%) Immelmann	3.5 3.5/1(+0%)	(3) Immelmann 3.5/1, Last of 19 in handicap (5/2) at Galway (16.5f, good to soft) 17 days ago, eased and found to be coughing post race. Might be worth another chance. Struggled in 2 runs for new yard and coughed when tailed off latest; hard to fancy.
4	4 (4) (6/1 -9%) Immutable	6 6/1(-9%)	(4) Immutable 6/1, 1 win from 3 runs this year. Latest win at Naas in April. Respectable fifth of 13 in handicap (13/2) at Galway (12.4f, heavy) 19 days ago. Trainer going well. Not easy to make a case for. In good form prior to latest run at Galway when shaping like a non-stayer; stamina a doubt.
1	1 (1) (10/1 +0%) Laelaps	10 10/1(+0%)	(1) Laelaps 10/1, Unreliable individual. Fourteen runs since last win in 2021. Thirteenth of 17 in handicap at Galway (12f, good, 22/1) 15 days ago. Hood back on. Promising effort when 3rd at the Curragh but poor twice since; tough mark on recent form.
8	8 (8) (11/1 +0%) Expound	11 11/1(+0%)	(8) Expound 11/1, 9/2, good third of 13 in handicap at Tipperary (12.5f, soft) 8 days ago, finding less than looked likely. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Looks competitive on form. 0-11; narrowly denied in his last three runs and has been left on the same mark this time.
5	5 (5) (18/1 +0%) Kojin	18 18/1(+0%)	(5) Kojin 18/1, C&D winner. 25/1, fourteenth of 16 in handicap at Galway (8.4f, good to soft) 16 days ago. Significantly back up in trip. Well treated if staging a revival. C&D winner of a maiden on this card last year but really lost his way of late.
6	6 (6) (33/1 -18%) Lakewood	33 33/1(-18%)	(6) Lakewood 33/1, Bit below form eighth of 15 in maiden (11/1) at the Curragh (10f, good) 6 days ago, hampered. Blinkers on 1st time. Needs a couple of these to falter. 0-11; not a bad run in Curragh maiden last week on seasonal return; can come on for that.

LTO Selection:

It is very difficult to get away from the hat-trick seeking VISCHIO at a venue where she has already proven her effectiveness. The Dick Donohoe-trained mare made all the running over course and distance last month, before following up at Ballinrobe on her next start. Despite a subsequent 7lb rise, the daughter of Holy Roman Emperor looks ahead of the handicapper. Immelmann, who made a very pleasing debut for Willie Mullins at the Curragh, can readily be forgiven a poor run at the Galway Festival as the ground had gone for him. Back on a sounder surface here, the five-year-old has strong claims, although he may just prefer further. Immutable and Expound appear best of the remainder.

It may pay to give another chance to IMMELMANN who was found to be coughing when a disappointing favourite at Galway last time and had shaped encouragingly on his yard debut prior to that. Vischio ran well back hurdling at Galway recently and also scored twice on the Flat last month so she's an obvious danger. Last year's winner Royal Eagle would also very much come into it if turning out (career best over hurdles here on Thursday).

One of these should fall the way of EXPOUND who has been going close of late and now gets first-time cheekpieces which may help

18:50 Tramore Handicap 12f PREDICTION SIMULATION

19:20 Tramore Handicap 16f - 11 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
9	9 (9) (1.5/1 +0%) Stoke The Fire	1.5 1.5/1(+0%)	(9) Stoke The Fire 1.5/1, Low-mileage sort who posted a very good second of 18 in handicap at Galway (12f, good to soft) 16 days ago. That form is working out well so another bold showing is on the cards now significantly up in trip.. Plenty of merit in both recent comeback runs; longer trip here could be what he needs.
11	11 (11) (6/1 +0%) Walking On Glass	6 6/1(+0%)	(11) Walking On Glass 6/1, 14/1, creditable fifth of 21 in handicap at the Curragh (14f, good) 6 days ago, left with too much to do. One for the shortlist. Reportedly hung right at both Galway and the Curragh; going left-handed here may suit.
4	4 (4) (8/1 +0%) Foveros	8 8/1(+0%)	(4) Foveros 8/1, Bit below form sixth of 16 in handicap hurdle (14/1) at Galway (22.6f, soft) 14 days ago. Fairly useful on the Flat, so not discounted. Okay runs both starts this summer but ideally wants it softer; predicted rain will suit.
5	5 (5) (9/1 +0%) Lord Erskine	9 9/1(+0%)	(5) Lord Erskine 9/1, C&D winner. 1 win from 3 runs this year. 8/1, creditable sixth of 14 in handicap at Killarney (16.8f, good to soft) 32 days ago. Can give a good account. C&D winner last month ran well in the circumstances at Killarney; considered.
3	3 (3) (12/1 -20%) Zenon	12 12/1(-20%)	(3) Zenon 12/1, Landed 13-runner handicap at Killarney (14f, soft, 7/1). Off over 3 years so market can prove a good guide on his comeback run. One of three for Willie Mullins, market best guide after 3-year absence.
8	8 (8) (12/1 +0%) Kendancer	12 12/1(+0%)	(8) Kendancer 12/1, Creditable sixth of 11 in handicap (11/1) at Yarmouth (14.1f, good to soft) 23 days ago, needing stiffer test. In the picture. Not competitive in 5 starts since returning; handicapper slow to relent.
2	2 (2) (14/1 +0%) Sheishybrid	14 14/1(+0%)	(2) Sheishybrid 14/1, Creditable fifth of 16 in handicap (7/1) at the Curragh (16f, good) 49 days ago, faring best of those held up. Not taken lightly. Held up of late but effective under more positive tactics which should suit here.
6	6 (6) (16/1 -14%) Flamborough	16 16/1(-14%)	(6) Flamborough 16/1, Bit below form sixth of 16 in juvenile hurdle at Killarney (17f, good to soft, 7/2) 97 days ago. Needs a couple of these to falter. Won over 1m6f in Britain (soft) for the Johnstons; opposable on recent hurdles form.
1	1 (1) (16/1 +0%) Mr Rango	16 16/1(+0%)	(1) Mr Rango 16/1, Creditable third of 6 in handicap (11/4) at Ballinrobe (12.6f, good to soft) 26 days ago. Up in trip and not ruled out. Just about got 1m4f at Ballinrobe; stamina concerns over this extended trip though.
10	10 (10) (20/1 -25%) Kottayam	20 20/1(-25%)	(10) Kottayam 20/1, Twice-raced winner on Flat for Willie Mullins, including over C&D. Last of six on yard debut at Galway earlier in the month. Makes handicap debut. Needs a couple of these to falter. C&D maiden winner a year ago but hard to be confident in on recent comeback effort.
7	7 (7) (33/1 +0%) Happy Jacky	33 33/1(+0%)	(7) Happy Jacky 33/1, Lightly-raced maiden on Flat. Eleventh of 14 in handicap at Killarney (16.8f, good to soft, 25/1) 32 days ago. Must improve. Hurdler never counted on recent flat debut; looks harshly handicapped on evidence so far.

LTO Selection:

STOKE THE FIRE can gain a deserved success having occupied the runner-up spot on two occasions since returning from a long absence. The Willie Mullins-trained gelding had been off the track for the best part of two years before just getting touched off on his comeback at Down Royal in June. Again, sent off a strongly supported favourite at the Galway Festival last time, he again just came up short, beaten three-quarters of a length. Lord Erskine won over course and distance last month, before running a fair race when sixth at Killarney subsequently. The Harry Rogers-trained veteran has to be a contender. Mr Rango is interesting stepping up to this trip for the first time. Trainer Ross O'Sullivan has his string in great form at the minute so the five-year-old shouldn't be discounted.

STOKE THE FIRE looks the way to go on the back of his very good Galway second with few miles still on the clock and that form working out very well. Sheishybrid shaped encouragingly when fifth at the Curragh last time so rates the main danger to Willie Mullins' low-mileage 4-y-o, with Mr Rango appealing as the pick of the rest for minor honours.

Willie Mullins runs three here with STOKE THE FIRE the likely number one with this extended trip likely to suit

7	7 (7) (7/1 +36%) Wild Shot	7 7/1(+36%)	(7) Wild Shot 7/1, 16/1, respectable fourth of 13 in handicap hurdle at Sligo (20.4f, good to soft) 9 days ago, running on late. Fair on the Flat, won over C&D in July. Can make presence felt again. C&D winner last month; likely big player off a still handy mark.
8	8 (8) (8/1 +0%) Charlie Luciano	8 8/1(+0%)	(8) Charlie Luciano 8/1, 6/4, respectable second of 5 in minor event hurdle at Downpatrick (21.8f, good) 37 days ago, having run of race. Fair on the Flat, respectable on last Flat run. Better hurdler down to a dangerous-looking flat mark so respected.
12	12 (12) (8/1 +0%) Appian Way	8 8/1(+0%)	(12) Appian Way 8/1, Good fifth of 13 in handicap hurdle at Roscommon (23.6f, good to soft, 11/2) 11 days ago. Blinkers on 1st time on the Flat (on when winning over jumps). C&D fourth to Wild Shot; 2lb wrong but still one to consider.
2	2 (2) (8.5/1 -13%) Elzaamsan	8.5 8.5/1(-13%)	(2) Elzaamsan 8.5/1, Blinkered for 1st time tongue strap on for 1st time, creditable seventh of 14 in handicap at Leopardstown (15f, good to soft, 11/1) 23 days ago, not clear run. Expected to be bang there. Not a bad effort on latest considering his troublesome passage; worth considering.
3	3 (3) (9/1 +18%) Zoffany Bay	9 9/1(+18%)	(3) Zoffany Bay 9/1, 18/1, fifteenth of 20 in handicap hurdle at Galway (22f, good to soft) 17 days ago but did win on the Flat here prior to that. 1m4f winner here last month not guaranteed to stay this far but good chance if getting it.

Not discounted back on the Flat. Beaten when last-flight faller at Bellewstown latest; others look better handicapped.
9	9 (9) (10/1 +0%) Chutzpal	10 10/1(+0%)	(9) Chutzpal 10/1, 20/1 and blinkers on for 1st time in this code, fifth of 15 in novice hurdle at this course (16f, good) 2 days ago. Fair on the Flat, poor on last Flat run. Others more appealing. Better AW form, fair effort in maiden hurdle here on Thursday.
6	6 (6) (14/1 +0%) Dubai Clover	14 14/1(+0%)	(6) Dubai Clover 14/1, Lightly-raced maiden on Flat. Good fourth of 14 in handicap (12/1) at Ballinrobe (12.6f, good to soft) 26 days ago. Up in trip. Lightly raced 4yo with possibly more to come over this extended trip.
13	13 (13) (33/1 +18%) Turkestan	33 33/1(+18%)	(13) Turkestan 33/1, 22/1, creditable sixth of 15 in handicap hurdle at Ballinrobe (17f, good) 25 days ago. Up in trip. Fair on the Flat, poor on last Flat run. RESERVE. Maiden under both codes whose recent form none too encouraging; reserve.

Significantly back up in trip. Clipped heels on latest over C&D last month and top-weight remains opposable off same mark.
10	10 (10) (66/1 +0%) Dreams Fled Away	66 66/1(+0%)	(10) Dreams Fled Away 66/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 50/1, thirteenth of 14 in handicap at Sligo (13.2f, good to soft) 10 days ago. Up in trip. Opening handicap efforts have been underwhelming; down 3lb but remains of limited appeal.

LTO Selection:

The Noel Meade-trained CHARLIE LUCIANO reverts to the flat off a very appealing mark having won two of his last three starts over hurdles. Although unable to exploit a similar rating at Leopardstown in June, the four-year-old has arguably improved in the interim. Colin Keane will no doubt try to make this a proper test of stamina on a gelding who finds plenty for pressure. Recent course and distance winner Wild Shot hasn't been too harshly treated off just a 5lb higher mark, so the John McConnell-trained gelding must be a real threat. Barometer, last year's winner, hasn't been in the same form of late, but, now that his stable have turned the corner, the eight-year-old has to be considered in his repeat bid.

ELZAAMSAN caught the eye a bit in this headgear combination at Leopardstown last time and might be worth chancing off what is a favourable mark on his peak AW form. Tory Reel and Appian Way are a couple who ought to be capable of going close off basement marks on the Flat judged on the level of their hurdle form. John McConnell's Wild Shot has run well over hurdles since his Flat win here last month and is another to consider.

The manner in which WILD SHOT skipped clear on the home turn here last month suggests he could defy a 5lb rise

About U.K Horse Racing

Horse racing is a popular and historic sport in the UK, with a tradition dating back centuries. It is a multi-billion pound industry that attracts millions of spectators each year and generates significant economic activity.

There are two main types of horse racing in the UK: flat racing and jump racing. Flat racing is run on a level course and is typically shorter in distance, while jump racing involves horses jumping over obstacles and is generally longer in distance. Both types of racing are popular with spectators and bettors, and they take place at various racetracks throughout the country.

The most famous horse racing event in the UK is the Grand National, which is held annually at Aintree Racecourse in Liverpool. It is a jump racing event that is known for its challenging course and has become a national institution in the UK. Other notable horse racing events in the UK include the Derby, held at Epsom Downs Racecourse in Surrey, and the Royal Ascot, held at Ascot Racecourse in Berkshire.

Horse racing in the UK is regulated by the British Horseracing Authority (BHA), which sets rules and standards for the industry. It is responsible for the welfare of racehorses and the safety of jockeys and trainers, as well as ensuring fair and transparent racing practices.

In addition to its economic and cultural importance, horse racing in the UK also plays a significant role in the breeding and training of thoroughbred horses. Many of the world's top thoroughbreds are bred and trained in the UK, and the industry plays a vital role in the preservation and promotion of the breed.

Overall, horse racing is an integral part of British culture and a major contributor to the country's economy. It is a thrilling and exciting sport that continues to attract a loyal following and generate significant interest from spectators and bettors around the world.
