14:05 Tramore Maiden Hurdle 17f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

BARRIER's placed form over flights looks strong, so she is taken to get off the mark. The horse that beat her into second at Naas was subsequently placed in the Boodles at the Cheltenham Festival, and it was a subsequent Grade 2 runner-up that beat her into third at Gowran Park. Ex-Flat winner Malbay Madness didn't quite get home in fourth on testing ground at Cork. This ground isn't forecast to be as deep and he has claims. Star Of Mayo won on the level in Britain and is a hurdling debutant that could go better than most.

BARRIER finished placed in a couple of juvenile contests at the beginning of 2024 and a repeat of that level will see her hard to beat. Malbay Madness was a different proposition on second hurdles start at Cork 3 weeks ago and is clear-second choice.

This can go the way of BARRIER who has some solid form in the book this winter and she arrives on the back of a good Flat run

14:40 Tramore Maiden Hurdle 17f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

GROOVEYKINDOFLOVE looks the part for in-form Henry de Bromhead. She kept on to be a somewhat remote second in Down Royal, but that run has to be put in context as the winner has since finished runner-up in a Grade 3 and a Grade 1. Magic Dawn has shown ability over flights in big fields at Naas and when beaten a fair way into second at Leopardstown. This could be seen as a drop in class for her. Pampar Lady is likely to build upon a third place over a similar trip when last seen at Clonmel in November while Russellsbelle would prefer better ground, but is not without a chance.

GAILLIMH A RUN stepped up on her hurdles bow when third at Clonmel and is entitled to improve again on her bumper form. She shades the vote over Grooveykindoflove, who was no match for the odds on favourite at Down Royal but is not yet the finished article. Magic Dawn is best of the others.

GROOVEYKINDOFLOVE has run well in defeat in two starts so far and if her jumping is a bit slicker this time, she may be the one to beat

15:15 Tramore Maiden Hurdle 21f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

PRINCE PALACE was placed twice over staying trips in Fairyhouse last year and this race gives him an opportunity to grab a victory. He didn't cut much ice in two outings in February and March, however, they were much better contests and he should appreciate this company. Pirate Island has been placed three times over flights and looks one of the more likely contenders. Rocco Boyo faced a stiff task in a Punchestown maiden hurdle in November and duly finished well adrift in third. Prior to that, he was placed in a couple of bumpers so he could have a say. Crooked Tannie has the ability to be very competitive, but the trip is a concern as he was completely tailed off over 2m4f at Navan in January.

PRINCE PALACE needs to shrug off a couple of lesser displays but the pick of his form in this sphere suggests he's well up to landing a race of this nature and he could just be worth chancing to bounce back. Pirate Island and Crooked Tannie are others expected to be firmly in the mix.

He has a bit to find at the weights with a couple of these but PIRATE ISLAND is fairly reliable and will get the trip well

15:50 Tramore Handicap Hurdle 21f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

EPSON DU HOUX catches the eye reverting to hurdling off a 26lb lower mark than his chase rating. Furthermore, Carl Millar lessens his burden by 7lb. The concern would be the trip, but this is a sharp track and it could reinvigorate him after failing to trouble the judge in his last five appearances. West Away unseated in Down Royal, but has form in the book to make him a player, while Natural Breeze is the lowest-rated horse in the field, but is a consistent sort.

Not so competitive as the numbers suggest and NATURAL BREEZE looks the way to go on the back of his good Clonmel second last time out. Gordon Elliott's Epson du Houx could emerge as the chief threat back hurdling with Good As Hell another to consider.

EPSON DU HOUX hasn't shown much over fences this season but will be a big player from his much lower hurdle mark if retaining ability

16:20 Tramore Handicap Chase 22f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

BRUCEJACK finished mid-division in a quality novice handicap chase at Navan and, on penultimate start, was runner-up in a beginners' chase at Thurles which brings him into contention. Paul Townend is a very notable jockey booking for him. Willywampus enjoyed a staying trip at this track when delivering in August. He was last seen taking the honours at Thurles in December, so the top-weight has to be respected. C'est Quelqu'un picked up plenty of prize money last year and would be a threat if ready to go after a lengthy absence.

A case can be made for a few of these but C&D winner WILLYWAMPUS looked in fine fettle when scoring at Thurles last time so gets the vote with that form working out well. Both Rochestown and Sweet Will command plenty of respect reverting to this sphere and can chase home Eamon Courtney's 7-y-o in that order.

A pretty open affair but there should be mileage in a mark of 105 for BRUCEJACK (nap) and Paul Townend's mount gets the vote

16:50 Tramore Handicap Chase 16f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Gordon Elliott has a good track record when picking up lowly rated performers out of England and ERIGMOOR catches the eye here. The Schiaparelli gelding had some decent placed form over the water and is only six so there is scope for improvement. He cost just £7,000 at the sales in December and could make a big chunk of that back now. Mahlers Cove ran well when third over hurdles at Naas last time and is equally effective over fences so has to be a leading player here. Dontdooddson is another who was placed over timber last time and also has to be on the shortlist.

ERIGMOOR went backwards for Stuart Edmunds over fences but he starts out on a good mark for Gordon Elliott and, given the shortcomings of his rivals, he's well worth taking a chance on after 4 months off. Mahlers Cove is the most solid alternative and Dontdooddson can't be completely dismissed.

This won't take much winning and MAHLERS COVE could be the one having shaped with promise over hurdles last time

17:20 Tramore Maiden Chase 16f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Only four go to post but it's a competitive little heat and DUTCH SCHULTZ gets the vote after a couple of solid runner-up efforts. Gavin Cromwell's charge was collared late on in a handicap at Navan last time and this looks like a nice opportunity back in novice company. Henn See is the only winner over fences in the field and has to carry a penalty as a result. He was disappointing in a very competitive handicap at the Dublin Racing Festival last time but has to be respected dropping in class now. Doyen Ta Win makes her chase debut and is sure to make a bold bid from the front if taking to the larger obstacles.

DUTCH SCHULTZ arrives on the back of a solid effort in a handicap and a performance of similar effort could be enough to get the better of both Gua Du Large and Henn See, who have a bit more to prove than the selection.

The best of these over hurdles, and by some way, is GUA DU LARGE and he is the selection on his third start back after a long absence

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.

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.
