Boldog

5
5/1(-11%)
(1) Boldog 5/1, Career best when winning 15-runner bumper (7/1) at Hexham (16.2f, soft), suited by strong pace to lead straight. Has to give away weight to all his rivals but there's plenty to like on hurdling debut having switched from Stuart Crawford in the interim.
Hexham bumper winner; now with Joseph O'Brien and further progression highly likely.

(6) Gorgeous Tom 11/8, In the frame both starts in points and improved plenty from hurdling debut when second of 25 in maiden hurdle (4/1) at Navan (16f, heavy) 23 days ago. Every chance he can go one better.
Has been bumping into smart horses and this is a good chance to shed his maiden status.

Clear at one stage (raced keenly) but ended up being pulled up here a month ago.
LTO Selection:

12:00 Tramore Maiden Hurdle 17f Race Speed Rating Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's race.

GORGEOUS TOM has some strong form to his name and looks the one to beat. An eye-catching fourth on his debut for current connections, he followed-up on that effort by chasing home subsequent Grade 1 winner Caldwell Potter on his most recent start at Navan. The Henry de Bromhead-trained bay pulled seven-lengths clear of the third at the Co Meath venue, with recent Limerick winner Cato's Revenge in behind. Second on debut in the Goffs Defender Bumper, Milo Lises unseated on his first try over flights when sent off favourite. Coming from the powerhouse yard of Willie Mullins, he is sure to go close. Hexham bumper winner Boldog starts off for Joseph O'Brien and has definite claims, while Cappuccino, who has been placed three times from four starts, is another for the shortlist.

Only a handful of these make any serious appeal and it's MILO LISES who gets the nod for Willie Mullins having been sent off favourite but not getting very far on his hurdling debut at Navan just over 3 weeks ago. The obvious threat is Gorgeous Tom, who improved plenty from hurdling debut when finishing runner-up to a subsequent winner on the same card. Boldog and Cappucino are a couple of hurdling debutants also worth keeping a close eye on.

Mullins has a great record in this maiden but Milo Lises departed early at Navan and preference is for GORGEOUS TOM.

In form but perhaps a question of whether others are better handicapped.

5th (5) Cerberus (6/1 +33%)
Cerberus

6
6/1(+33%)
(5) Cerberus 6/1, Twenty four runs since last win in 2019. Below form sixth of 12 in handicap hurdle (16/1) at Cork (20f, heavy) 36 days ago.

Beaten single-figure lengths in last two handicaps but being out of the weights is no help.

The Grey Falco

Southwell winner bought for 8,000gns; can win more races for new connections.
LTO Selection:

12:30 Tramore Handicap Hurdle 17f Race Speed Rating Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's race.

CLARENS is the selection in this competitive affair. Not the most consistent of late, he was a fine second of 20 on his penultimate start, with subsequent Leopardstown winners Music Of Tara and One Last Tango in third and fourth respectively. Pulled up when tried over 2m4f for the first time on his most recent outing, he might be able to bounce back now, dropping in trip. In truth, it's difficult to safely rule out any of the remaining eight contenders. Handicap debutant Belle The Lioness is given second preference and she is sure to have plenty of supporters, while the same can be said of Star Official with Danny Mullins aboard. Three-time winner Little Mixup warrants respect, while course victor Bynx and Ceberus, who won a Grade 3 as a juvenile, are others of interest.

BELLE THE LIONESS made an encouraging return when third at Wexford and can take a step forward now going into handicaps and resume winning ways. Clarens should prove suited by reverting to this trip so could emerge as the main danger to Henry de Bromhead's mare ahead of Star Official.

There's no question that CERBERUS has become frustrating but his mark continues to fall and he's back to his best distance.

LTO Selection:

13:05 Tramore Maiden Hurdle 22f Race Speed Rating Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's race.

STOKE THE FIRE begins for Middleham Park Racing Ireland here, and a winning start over jumps could well be in the offing. The Vadamos gelding has been costly to follow, but a Flat rating of 79 marks the stayer out as a useful sort to be going hurdling with. He has course experience, having finished runner-up to subsequent Listed second placer, Uxmal, in September. On outing number two at the venue now, expect an extended two miles and five to play to the Closutton's runners strengths. Notkeepinyagoing faced an unenviable task in chasing home subsequent dual black-type scorer Jetara at Fairyhouse, and taking into account her rider's claim she receives weight from most of her rivals. She's a strong contender for a place in the frame, along with Nouvotic and Sirekoff.

STOKE THE FIRE only just failed to break his maiden on the Flat at Naas in October and can make a winning start in this sphere if taking to hurdles at the first attempt. Sirekoff pulled clear of the rest when runner-up at Clonmel on his hurdles bow and is an obvious threat ahead of Nouvotic and Notkeepinyagoing.

Although a maiden off the Flat, STOKE THE FIRE very nearly won a premier handicap when last seen and he could be decent over hurdles.

Back from 15 months absence for new yard and seems best watched on handicap debut.
LTO Selection:

13:40 Tramore Handicap Hurdle 22f Race Speed Rating Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's race.

BUACHAILLBOCHT can make light of the 10Ib hike in the ratings he received, for a course and distance success from November. Second and third on that occasion, Kiln Time and Cruisin Susan, reoppose now on better terms. However, neither has the same scope for progression as Buachaillbocht, and allied to that he hails for a string in cracking good order. Another track and trip victor that will justifiably have her supporters is Blossom De Mai. She's in receipt of a lot of weight from Buahaillbocht, and could be difficult to keep out of the frame. For local owners, What An Ocean is one of the lesser lights in Gordon Elliott's yard, but connections perseverance may be rewarded at some stage.

KILN TIME wasted no time getting back on track when just failing at Fairyhouse and can resume winning ways at the main expense of Buachaillbocht, who showed big improvement when beating the selection by ¾ length on handicap bow here 5 weeks ago but is now 6 lb worse off with Kiln Time. What An Ocean is best of the others.

Despite a hefty 10lb hike for a recent C&D win, the still unexposed BUACHAILLBOCHT can follow up

LTO Selection:

14:15 Tramore Conditions Chase 23f Race Speed Rating Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's race.

Paul Townend is on duty at Fairyhouse, and it could be that Danny Mullins finds himself on the Closutton number one hope in the shape of CLASSIC GETAWAY. The Cheveley Park Stud-owned eight-year-old is lightly less risky than stable companions Bronn and Monkfish, on the back of his Thurles success. Bronn's Wexford effort was too bad to be true, and hopefully he can show his true colours now after striking into his left fore pastern then. In receipt of 3Ib from Classic Getaway, Monkfish is much respected. We don't see the hugely talented chestnut too often, though, and market movements ought to be revealing as Brian Hayes takes the reins for the first time. Of the rest, Minella Crooner shouldn't be judged too harshly for pulling up in a marathon contest last time, whilst ex-Mullins representative Jungle Boogie can progress off a recent comeback effort. Former Thyestes hero Longhouse Poet may find this an insufficient stamina test. Roi Mage finished a well-held third here a year ago, but arrives off the back of a big French cross-country success.

CLASSIC GETAWAY has improved since switched to chasing and was impressive at Thurles on his reappearance, so he's the likeliest winner for all that his stablemate, Monkfish is a real class act on his day. Jungle Boogie is an intriguing runner on his second outing for Henry de Bromhead.

(4) Making Country Evens, Showed ability only start in bumpers back in 2021 and, having tasted success in points thereafter, he shaped with some promise in face of stiff task when last of 6 in minor event hurdle at Leopardstown in spring 2022. Absent again since but he may well have more to offer.

The chart reads from right to left to today's race.

Owner David L'Estrange had a 2023 to remember on the equine and indeed canine front, and he can get 2024 off to the perfect start courtesy of the Philip Dempsey-trained LOW MILEAGE. A bad mistake contributed to Low Mileage pulling up at Fairyhouse in November. In a well-contested Molony Cup at Thurles last time though, a fifth place finish was much more like it, and though back in trip and still a maiden trust J J Slevin to put his mount's experience to good use. Making Country returns after a substantial absence. Many were pleased to see the old-firm alliance of J P McManus and Edward O'Grady combine with an exciting sort in No Flies On Him at Leopardstown. That fellow's jockey, Mark Walsh, can make his presence felt now as well on point-to-point scorer Making Country. Warm In Gorey looks the pick of Philip Rothwell's pair.

A few of these arrive with question marks against them so it is worth siding with winning-pointer MAKING COUNTRY to defy a long absence and go in at the first time of asking in this sphere. Low Mileage rates the obvious threat despite taking a big drop in trip. Mount Frisco and Warm In Gorey can fight it out for minor honours.

A weak rated novice chase in which it could pay to take a chance on the reappearing chase debutant MAKING COUNTRY

(5) Mahler Appeal 11/4, Creditable fourth of 22 in handicap hurdle at Punchestown (23.9f, heavy, 15/2) 20 days ago. Switches from hurdles to chase and he's one for the shortlist.
Solid recent hurdle efforts on heavy; one to consider.

(3) Lilian Bland 15/2, 4/1, respectable fourth of 16 in handicap hurdle at Limerick (19f, good to soft) last May. That was her latest start under Rules but a couple of recent runs in points under her belt and she's worth considering on this chase debut.
Placed in Clonmel handicap hurdles last season; straight into handicap for chase debut.

Below-par at Punchestown but big player on previous form.

Came up against smart types in beginners chases; opening mark probably on the high side.

The chart reads from right to left to today's race.

The Walsh yard in Doneraile County Cork is struggling to hit the bullseye at present, and that may put some off the chances of ROCHESTOWN. At a venue that provided them with many good days in past, there were tentative signs of a revival for the Walsh outfit at Limerick last week. They clearly mean business now with the booking of Darragh O'Keeffe for Rochestown, and a repeat of his second placing here in November might well be good enough. A 4Ib hike in the weights makes it a little more difficult, and something like chase debutant Glorious Singer could provide stiff enough opposition getting a chunk of weight. Mahler Appeal and Greenway Machine are among the others that need considering.

MAHLER APPEAL and Rochestown could be the pair to concentrate on. The latter is not passed over lightly on the back of his solid reappearance second here in November, but Mahler Appeal returns to this sphere on the back of a couple of solid efforts in big-field handicap hurdles and he is marginally preferred. Lilian Bland is best of the rest.

A clear second over C&D on his comeback run in November, ROCHESTOWN can go one better here, chiefly at the expense of Mahler Appeal

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.
