16:15 Tramore Maiden Hurdle 16f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

HEATHER BEAR has a penalty for winning on the level, but she is a capable handicapper in that sphere and ran well on her recent hurdles debut. Her Flat form is on easy ground over middle-distances and having run well against more experienced rivals at Limerick, she should progress. Calico has been running consistently well all season and while her rider claims 5lb and has a light weight, she has been frustrating to follow and is a 12-race maiden. Montys Rock and Vengaboy were fifth and sixth respectively behind Calico at Cork and are slightly worse off, with jockey claims included. First reserve Highland King would be a notable runner having shown capable form over Flat middle-distances and is race-fit for his hurdles debut.

This could be the day when CALICO deservedly gets her head in front. She has put in good shifts at Cork the last twice and a reproduction of either of those efforts would probably suffice here. Newcomer Knocknacree is an appealing type on paper and interest levels will heighten if the market speaks in his favour. Heather Bear is open to improvement and she is best of the rest.

Not much strength in depth here and worth giving CALICO (nap) yet another chance in probably the weakest maiden she has contested

16:45 Tramore Maiden Hurdle 16f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

SMOOTH PLAYER is consistent and while he drops in distance, seems trip-versatile. A 2021 debut bumper winner, a reproduction of either of his last couple of runs would give him every chance under his penalty, but minus his rider's 5lb claim. Team Of Firsts is a notable hurdling newcomer having previously been rated 97 on the Flat. He likes testing ground, will stay National Hunt distances, and runs for a local yard. Dual Flat winner Hisnameis Mrdevitt is a 10-race maiden over hurdles, but has run solid races in defeat and bumped into Marine Nationale in October. He debuts for new connections but while he has winning form in testing conditions, might prefer summer ground. Aslukwoodhavit was capable in bumpers but was well beaten on his return last December and wears a first-time tongue-tie. Baltic Moon was beaten 68 lengths at Thurles but should improve as it was his first run for 655 days. Good point-to-pointer Kitsilano has caught the eye over hurdles.

Bumper-winner SMOOTH PLAYER has been knocking on the door over hurdles and this looks a good opportunity for him. Hisnameis Mrdevitt is the obvious threat on form if returning for a new yard on his game, with Team of Firsts dangerous if taking to this.

Despite slight concerns over this sharp track, SMOOTH PLAYER is taken to complete a quick double for the Elliott yard

17:15 Tramore Handicap Hurdle 16f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

PIDOYNE has taken a while to find her old French Flat form and might now continue on an upward curve over hurdles. A dual French winner on testing ground, her two recent runs were encouraging efforts and while beaten by Mahlers Cove at Thurles, that rival has been beaten since and the selection is open to more improvement. Keen-going, busy Take My Hand beat Mahlers Cove 10 lengths in a recent Naas race and should run well, while Be My Hero would have claims if getting a run having beaten both those rivals with his improved display at Naas. Wrecking Ball Paul ran well on handicap hurdle debut at Limerick, while Doyouthinkso was possibly unsuited by heavy ground at Gowran and would prefer a sounder surface. Gendarme and Cruisin Susan both need good ground, while Our Bobby makes his seasonal reappearance.

PIDOYNE signalled she is ready to go in again when an excellent second to Mahlers Cove at Thurles so Henry de Bromhead's mare gets the nod at the chief expense of handicap debutante Grizabella. Our Bobby is another weighted to have a say in an open-looking handicap.

If WRECKING BALL PAUL can be a bit more tractable today than when fourth at Limerick last time, he could take the beating

17:45 Tramore Handicap Hurdle 20f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

PRINCE ZALTAR won last year's renewal and is in form. Suited by easy ground and this distance, he is 11lb higher than when winning last year but today's rider claims 5lb and he won a big-field handicap last month. Jump The Shark remains a fraction unexposed but is nonetheless 3lb higher than at Cork, where his Fegentri rider claimed 7lb. Aide De Camp showed encouraging signs on debut for new connections at Downpatrick and can progress. Gaius, once capable in France, returned to form last year and while he debuts for new connections, has top weight on reappearance. Criminal Mischief is a chasing type who won an ordinary recent Clonmel maiden and while open to plenty improvement, faces street-wise handicappers. Pat Coyne is rated 127 over fences but isn't as good over hurdles and would prefer a sound surface. Course winner Kingston Retreat lacks a run, while course bumper winner Teescomponentsyess has handicap form but isn't straightforward.

JUMP THE SHARK is going the right way and is worth backing to go one better than his recent second at Cork. Prince Zaltar is the main danger and Pat Coyne also merits consideration.

An error at Cork possibly cost JUMP THE SHARK but he is taken to go one better here

18:15 Tramore Maiden Chase 22f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

First reserve Knocknagappagh would be a big contender if getting a run on her fencing debut having chased home a subsequent winner at Clonmel but, without her, the lightly-weighted KAREN'S GIFT might win. A point-to-point and dual hurdle winner, she was beaten a long distance on her chasing bow at Clonmel, but was unsuited by extremely testing conditions then and had previously shown useful hurdles form on easy ground. Kingston Kid has been well held in five previous chase runs but is a useful handicap hurdler and is suited by conditions under his 5lb claimer. The Abbey is a race-fit three-time winner but would prefer a sounder surface, while Hardwired has some useful bits of form but is a 20-race maiden. Oryx Hustler is a previous course winner but has a long absence to defy and runs in a first-time tongue-tie.

In a race where few arrive with compelling claims perhaps HARDWIRED can finally get his head in front. Leac An Scail Lady went close on her C&D chase debut last summer and could be a threat if new trainer Michael Butler has her primed after 8 months off. The Abbey is also more than capable of making his presence felt at this level if on a going day.

This looks a good opportunity for THE ABBEY to get off the mark over fences, with the sport's best 5lb claimer in the saddle.

18:45 Tramore Handicap Chase 22f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

KINGS HALO returned to form recently, having burst blood vessels at Down Royal, and reverts to fences with a chase rating which is now 5lb lower than his hurdles mark. His C&D runner-up effort on New Year's Day reads well, with the winner subsequently improving his rating by 22lb, and he finished ahead of Aodhan May. Ardera Ru is herself rated 18lb higher over hurdles and while she has run just once over fences, is a point-to-point winner who is well suited by this distance and testing ground. Aodhan May has progressed well recently and having won on testing conditions at Wexford (beating the frustrating Fox Le Bel), competes from a career-high rating. Ocean Legacy was a surprise winner at Wexford and is 5lb higher, while the lightly-weighted The Eye Of Tulla and Agrilcalledchloe have form at this level. The veteran Crimson Chief makes his season reappearance and would prefer good ground.

ARDERA RU has been in fine form over hurdles and reportedly had a breathing problem when disappointing on her previous chasing attempt. She is very favourably treated on her return to the larger obstacles and can take full advantage. Aodhan May and Fox Le Bel head the list of dangers.

These conditions will suit FINIANS ROW better than at Wexford last time and he could be some value.

19:15 Tramore Conditions Chase 22f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

LORD SCHNITZEL has won six point-to-points and a hunter chase, and continues to hold form. He might not have been suited by dropping in distance at Down Royal last month but nonetheless ran another solid race against capable types, is dependable, and beat subsequent hunter chase winner Dinny Lacey two runs ago. Lar's Lass has progressed well recently and while she won a recent Cork hunter chase, has yet to win in open point-to-point company and might struggle to beat the selection. Carrig Wells was held when falling in that recent Cork race, while Tohellortoconnacht was well held on the same card.

This looks a good opportunity for LORD SCHNITZEL to register his second victory in hunter chases. Lar's Lass and Tohellortoconnacht can also make their presence felt.

Lar's Lass is progressing well but may not be up to coping with LORD SCHNITZEL here

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.
