KEEP ON COBBLING outran big odds to fill the runner-up spot at Doncaster last month and should have more to offer. With Sam Twiston-Davies back on board, Henry Daly's mare looks the one to beat. Plus Point finished fifth behind the selection on Town Moor, but improvement is anticipated on only her second start for the Billy Aprahamian yard. La Cantate is another to note.

A chance is taken that improvement in her jumping will enable PLUS POINT to turn the tables on Keep On Cobbling from Doncaster.

GETAWAYS CHARM gets the vote after finishing third on her hurdling bow at Naas, with the added half-mile likely to bring improvement, as a daughter of Getaway, and with a point-to-point third over 3m to her name. Nastya is an obvious danger with placed efforts in the bank here at Down Royal and at Limerick, while Aisling Rose could be one to watch in a first-time visor if she takes a big step forward for her March 10th.

With improvement likely from her promising maiden hurdle debut at Naas, GETAWAYS CHARM (nap) could score upped in trip.

14:05 Tramore 16f - 8 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	1 1st (1) (11/2 -57%) Long Gone	5.5 11/2(-57%)	(1) Long Gone 11/2, Ran to form 12l third in a maiden hurdle at Limerick most recent run; reliable and though probably more needed to win can be thereabouts Solid level of of form in maidens; more needed here with penalty for bumper win.
2	8 2nd (8) (11/1 -10%) Sea Of Doubt	11 11/1(-10%)	(8) Sea Of Doubt 11/1, Down the field in a maiden hurdle over 2m at Naas on debut; fair bumper form prior to that and should improve; may contend Some promise at Naas of late; more needed but place claims.
3	5 3rd (5) (80/1 +0%) Pebble To A Pearl	80 80/1(+0%)	(5) Pebble To A Pearl 80/1, Minor promise debut over hurdles when jumped poorly, but down the field here most recent run in April 2024; hood first time; returning from long layoff; all to prove Beaten a long way in both maidens this time last year, including here; hooded on return.

5th	2 5th (2) (125/1 -25%) Abelene	125 125/1(-25%)	(2) Abelene 125/1, Pulled up in a maiden hurdle over 2m5f at Wexford on debut; hood on that day and very hard to fancy here Never sighted, pulled up on debut 9 days ago at Wexford when hooded (now left off).
4	4 \|C\| (4) (11/1 +73%) Music Of Life	11 11/1(+73%)	(4) Music Of Life 11/1, Well beaten in a maiden hurdle over 2m4f at Leopardstown second start running much to form of debut; placed in a bumper, but needs to improve Beaten long way in midfield in better-class maidens; better ground should suit.
6	6 \|F\| (6) (1/2 +25%) Qualimita	0.5 1/2(+25%)	(6) Qualimita 1/2, Comfortably held in a handicap hurdle over 2m at Navan last time, but ran about to very consistent form; likely to run race and the one to beat Big price purchase has become frustrating but this looks her best chance yet.
7	7 \|F\| (7) (8/1 -45%) Russellsbelle	8 8/1(-45%)	(7) Russellsbelle 8/1, Fell late when leading and going best in in a maiden hurdle over 2m at Listowel latest back in June 2024; returning from long layoff; threat if straight enough Likely winner when fell at the last at Listowel last June; runs well fresh, big player.

Expensive ex-point-to-pointer QUALIMITA might get her turn, having shown consistently useful form this winter. A 30-length winner of a point-to-point before selling for 500,000 euros in April 2023, she has attained Listed-placings at bumper and hurdle level and while defeated in three maidens, Gordon Elliott's mare drops in grade with conditions unlikely to faze her. Russellsbelle was an unlucky final-flight faller when last seen at Listowel last June. She is ideally suited by a sound surface and while she lacks race-fitness, should give the selection a race. Long Gone bounced back from a disappointing Gowran run when running satisfactorily at Limerick earlier this month.

A weak enough maiden and likely a best opportunity yet for QUALIMITA

1	4 1st (4) (4/1 +33%) Pottlerath	4 4/1(+33%)	(4) Pottlerath 4/1, Travelled well when 7l third in a handicap chase over 3m7f at Chepstow most recent run; down in trip, which may not suit ideally and others better treated at weights Good-ground specialist who was placed off much-reduced mark at Chepstow (3m6f) last month.
2	5 2nd (5) (2/1 +50%) Getthepot	2 2/1(+50%)	(5) Getthepot 2/1, Back to form able to dominate when second beaten 3/4l off 87 over 3m2f at Doncaster last time; off a short-break; threat if getting an easy lead Ran well in defeat in February, after a break, and remains unexposed over marathon trips.
3	6 3rd (6) (5/1 -43%) Martalmix'jac	5 5/1(-43%)	(6) Martalmix'jac 5/1, Game, but late error costly when beaten a short-head off 85 over 3m at Southwell last time; up in trip; off a short-break; can rate a little more highly and contender Went very close at Southwell (3m) in February and tackles this new trip from the same mark.
3	3 \|PU\| (3) (SP +100%) Grillon De Monty	0 SP(+100%)	(3) Grillon De Monty SP, Decent hurdle form back in 2023, but no worthwhile form since a break in May of that year; needs to show retained ability to enter calculations Ran well for a long way at Hereford in February and is eased in grade here.
2	2 \|PU\| (2) (4/1 +27%) Samourai One	4 4/1(+27%)	(2) Samourai One 4/1, Pulled up in a handicap chase at Fontwell latest, but looks well handicapped on basis of narrow win previous start off 94; trainer in form; off a short-break; can go well Struggled on heavy ground last time but won gamely when upped to 3m5f two starts ago.
7	7 \|PU\| (7) (14/1 +86%) Raindance Queen	14 14/1(+86%)	(7) Raindance Queen 14/1, Probably needed race well beaten in a handicap chase over 3m at Huntingdon latest, but no really worthwhile form and best passed over here Poor maiden who can't be recommended.

GROOM DE COTTE made his way through the field before scooting clear by over nine lengths at Huntingdon, shaping as if this rise in distance may bring about even more improvement. The nine-year-old might only need to run to a similar level in order to make it three wins out of his last four starts. Pottlerath finished third in a warmer event at Chepstow and continues to lurk on an appealing mark. Getthepot is also noted.

Course winner MARTALMIX'JAC (nap) is perhaps fortunate to have escaped a nudge up the weights for his close second over 3m in February.

2	2 2nd (2) (3/1 +14%) Bayou Belle	3 3/1(+14%)	(2) Bayou Belle 3/1, Probably needed race down the field in a handicap hurdle over 2m at Naas most recent run and better judged on 3 3/4l third off 96 at Sligo previous start; chance on that form Poor at Naas last time and has to bounce back; this better ground can help.
3	3 3rd (3) (4/1 -14%) Mickey Cohen	4 4/1(-14%)	(3) Mickey Cohen 4/1, Green and jumped abysmally, last time over hurdles and well beaten all three starts; mark looks on the stiff side A hint of ability in three maiden hurdles; can do better in these conditions; check market.
4	4 4th (4) (14/1 -40%) T Or Coffey	14 14/1(-40%)	(4) T Or Coffey 14/1, Ran to form beaten 4l off 53 over 12f at Dundalk on the Flat last time; ran well hurdle debut in August, but poor twice since; in the mix if gets back to best Modest Flat maiden has a shout on handicap hurdle debut if repeating debut run.
5th	5 5th (5) (9/1 -125%) Real Empire	9 9/1(-125%)	(5) Real Empire 9/1, Hampered by a faller mid-race and too much to do after, but finished full of running latest; can improve markedly on that and should go well off a fair mark Hasn't matched bumper form over hurdles, including handicaps; needs improvement.
6th	1 6th (1) (13/2 -117%) Mount Frisco	6.5 13/2(-117%)	(1) Mount Frisco 13/2, Well backed, but comfortably held in a handicap chase over 2m2f at Limerick last time; scored last time seen over hurdles in January 2024 and has progressed over fences since; well treated at weights if can get anywhere near chase form Placed in Listed chase; poor in two chase starts lately and questions back over hurdles.
7th	7 7th (7) (28/1 +15%) Give Her Hollie	28 28/1(+15%)	(7) Give Her Hollie 28/1, Pulled up in a maiden hurdle over 2m at Wexford latest and well beaten all hurdle starts; tongue-tie first time; needs to improve Pulled-up at Wexford on return; needs massive improvement; tongue-tie added.

LTO Selection:hiden content, hiden content, hiden content, hiden content

Top-weight MOUNT FRISCO is obviously the best horse in this contest, and if he makes the most of a return to hurdles, he may prove too good for these off a mark 6lb lower than over fences. Bayou Belle is another to consider getting 13lb from the suggestion, with her Sligo third last October one of her better runs, while Mickey Cohen makes his handicap debut for Noel Meade off what may prove a reasonable mark after three unplaced efforts over shorter.

Though a longstanding maiden, BAYOU BELLE has plenty of solid placed efforts to her name and will be suited by this lively ground.

1	7 1st (7) (2/5 +40%) Soir De Garde	0.4 2/5(+40%)	(7) Soir De Garde 2/5, Two good bumper runs; all-powerful yard; looks certain to improve and clearly the one they all have to beat Half-brother to State Man showed promise in bumpers earlier in season; likely major player.
2	9 2nd (9) (125/1 -56%) Nutbush City	125 125/1(-56%)	(9) Nutbush City 125/1, Pulled up in a maiden hurdle over 2m at Gowran Park latest and well beaten debut previous outing; hood first time; hard to fancy Has looked limited on the Flat and two hurdle runs haven't offered much; tried hooded.
3	5 3rd (5) (11/2 -10%) Kasanova's Dream	5.5 11/2(-10%)	(5) Kasanova's Dream 11/2, Buck's Boum gelding; second foal; dam French 2m4f-2m5f chase winner; top trainer; watch market Won't have to be too special to make a winning debut here, market should be informative.

State Man's lightly-raced half-brother SOIR DE GARDE should take all the beating on his hurdling debut here. The selection made a belated career debut last November when bumping into a subsequent Listed bumper winner and again showed nice ability when finishing third at Leopardstown during Christmas. He will be well schooled and has form on yielding ground. Four-time Flat winner San Aer is probably stretched by National Hunt distances but has shown some useful hurdles form. However, he has failed in 12 previous attempts in this sphere and concedes 8lb to the selection. Kasanova's Dream is out of a French Flat and chase winner.

State Man's half-brother SOIR DE GARDE can make a winning start over hurdles in an ordinary maiden

3	7 3rd (7) (10/3 -48%) Blackacre	3.333333 10/3(-48%)	(7) Blackacre 10/3, Well backed, but beaten 23l in a handicap hurdle over 3m at Ffos Las latest on heavy; up in trip; presumably thought to be in good heart and can contend Placed twice over fences in late 2024 and ran well again when back hurdling in February.
4	5 4th (5) (3/1 -9%) R Bernard	3 3/1(-9%)	(5) R Bernard 3/1, Won this last year, but was in form at the time and below par when well beaten in a handicap hurdle over 2m7f at Market Rasen latest; race record makes one to consider Out of sorts in winter when last seen but won this race in 2024; might bounce back to form.

Blackacre was well beaten into second at Ffos Las in February, but has to be respected off a 2lb lower rating. However, it may pay to side with QUITE THE GETAWAY, who pulled out a bit more to finish fifth over 2m6f here. The seven-year-old is fancied to improve for the rise in distance and can get off the mark. Clover Pass isn't out of it either.

He was out of form when we last saw him but R BERNARD is taken to win this race for the second year running.

LTO Selection:hiden content, hiden content, hiden content, hiden content

Brilliant Light was a disappointing favourite when well beaten at Limerick last time, but may be better judged on his third at Listowel prior. Even so, AVANDRA gets the vote. The daughter of Getaway finished fourth over an extended 2m3f at Punchestown in January and could take a step forward for this step up in distance. Tell Nobody Nothin completes the shortlist with the return to the smaller obstacles likely to be in his favour.

A formerly classy Flat sort, BRILLIANT LIGHT should be well at home on this sound surface and can win his second race over hurdles.

FAIRYLAND OPERA has run well in three of four runs this season and contests a winnable maiden, stepping up in distance. A grand-daughter of high-class racemare Opera Hat, she finished second to a subsequent winner at Naas in February, where the third-placed horse won twice afterwards. She again ran well at Navan last month and a reproduction of those runs would give her every chance. Knockaneleigh Girl was well supported in the market when finishing third to a stable companion at Clonmel last month and needs to improve to beat the selection. Keep Kool Coko has place claims.

If staying this longer trip FAIRYLAND OPERA (nap) should be the one to beat back in maiden company

Back to winning ways with a determined success over fences at Sedgefield, JACKPOT CASH should have no issue reverting to the smaller obstacles for in-form connections. The six-year-old is narrowly preferred to Land Girl's Luck, who was a taking winner herself at the same track and could be well treated off a mark of 100 on her handicap debut. Not beaten far over fences at Bangor last time out, Neigh Botha is worth a second look.

Topweight JACKPOT CASH is enjoying a productive spell for his new stable and gets the vote ahead of Neigh Botha.

THE LUCKY LOBSTER showed more when finishing fourth over 2m3f at Limerick at the start of the month and is only 2lb higher as a result of that display. The four-year-old remains on a workable mark and may find enough to gain his first career success. Kalsman has been competitive since moving into handicap company and has to enter the reckoning on his second run after a break, while Captain Kate is another to keep an eye on.

THE LUCKY LOBSTER is preferred. He has run well on two of his last three starts, he'll enjoy the good ground and this trip will suit

CODE PURPLE has a good course record of three wins and three seconds from six starts. Although not at his best at Newcastle last month, he could be worth another chance back on turf. Shine On Brendan finished last season with wins at Hamilton and Ayr and is entitled to go close on his return to action, leaving Rainwater as a potential improver if he retains the speed needed for the drop back to a mile.

None of these fully convince but maybe SPUN TO GOLD can rediscover some form, dropping in class from handy draw after five months off.

Course bumper winner GRANNYS YARIS is a hopeful pick despite having poor hurdle form. She showed nice ability in bumpers and, at today's course in August 2023, scored by seven lengths from the runner-up, who subsequently achieved a rating of 118. She needs to recapture that old form and wears cheekpieces on handicap debut but has had a break since her last race. Mullanour finished fourth behind an easy winner at Cork last month and bumped into a nicely handicapped winner at Limerick in January, so should be competitive once again. Four-year-old filly Set The Tone may have been unsuited by soft ground on recent runs and had shown ability on good ground last autumn.

On the basis of a good run in a Punchestown maiden, LUCKY LIONESS appeals as being potentially well treated for her first handicap

It is difficult to look past the classy PIED PIPER, who only last year was third in the County Hurdle and, previous to that, finished runner-up in the English Cesarewitch. The ground should be ideal on his first go over fences and he gets the vote ahead of Encanto Bruno, who is much better than he showed on his chasing bow at Gowran in October. A stablemate of the selection, Binge Worthy cannot be ruled out either.

Though he has lost his form on the Flat and over hurdles, PIED PIPER should still have enough class to take care of this field.

Six unraced horses and the Brocklesby 12th to work with here, and a chance is taken on STAR MATERIAL, Adrian Keatley's first juvenile runner of the season. Bred to be speedy as a son of Starman out of an unraced sister to Ardad, the stable's horses are running well enough to suggest he can have a big say. Kevin Ryan won this last year with Barrak and will be hoping for a big run from Pinatubo colt Dickensian who is worth a market watch, leaving Harswell Calling as another to consider, especially with his racecourse experience a possible advantage.

Most of the newcomers have good credentials, particularly DICKENSIAN (narrowly preferred) and Clear Force.

Runner-up in a Listed handicap chase at Navan last month, CHEERFUL CHAP can make the most of this drop in class. A former course winner over hurdles, the Philip Rothwell-trained gelding can register a first success over fences. From a mark which is still 7lb lower than his rating over flights, the son of Pour Moi makes plenty of appeal. The fact that his rider Tiernan Power Roche can claim an additional 5lb off his back makes the eight-year-old of strong interest. As a mare in form, Lilian Bland has to be a serious contender for the Niall Hennessy stable. It would be dangerous to allow her too much of an easy lead around here. Rochestown can complete the placings.

Preference is for JOUSTER who goes well here and is probably capable of better than what he has shown thus far in handicap chases

A high-class performer a few years ago as a juvenile hurdler and novice chaser, ALLMANKIND has found a new lease of life in point-to-points and never had much of a chance at the Cheltenham Festival when hampered at the first. This is a much easier assignment, with Empire De Maulde looking best placed to chase him home following a narrow defeat at Newbury. Bardenstown Lad will enjoy this ground and is expected to have a say in proceedings as well.

His Cheltenham foray did not pan out at all favourably but ALLMANKIND has a big chance today. Empire De Maulde is second choice.

A highly encouraging second on her return from a 180-day break at Fairyhouse in February, MEYO is entitled to come on plenty for that effort and returning to good ground is a significant plus. She can uphold form with Jasmin De Cotte (third) from that contest, while the main danger may come from Limerick winner Banprionsa, who has been raised 6lb for that determined performance. Step Out is another to consider on his first go over this sort of trip.

A chance is taken on JASMIN DE COTTE who will enjoy the return to quicker ground and who shaped well on his only previous run here

Trainer Jim Goldie won this last year with American Affair and is back for more with three runners headed by Eternal Sunshine, the mount of Paul Mulrennan who finished seventh here last time out after missing the break. She can go well, but if Irish raider ONLY SPOOFING is at his best, he could prove hard to beat. Now aged 11, he is race-fit after a third at Bellewstown last time out, and with three wins from four starts here he clearly loves the track. Stash The Cash and Catch Cunningham are others to consider in a fascinating renewal.

This is really competitive but ALLIGATOR ALLEY was formerly rated much higher and shaped well enough on his stable debut.

Navan runner-up ENJOY THE DREAM should be difficult to beat now that she drops back in distance. A former Grade 2 winner over hurdles, the Andrew McNamara-trained mare is undoubtedly well handicapped over fences. Having looked all over a winner before ultimately being outstayed at the County Meath track last time, connections have wisely decided to return to the minimum trip here. The experience she gained in handicap company last time will stand to her back in against novices on this occasion. Recent course and distance winner Be Fierce looks the main threat. The Ted Walsh-trained eight-year-old has the potential to improve on what is only his third run over fences. Media Naranja looks best of the remainder.

The busily-campaigned 5yo maiden IN THE TRENCHES makes plenty of appeal here off bottom weight after his recent Navan second

GETAWAY KING faced an uphill battle in a Grade 3 contest at Navan last month. The seven-year-old will appreciate a considerable ease in class and, with Paddy Hanlon able to claim 7lb this time around, it would come as no surprise were he to show more. There have been more promising signs from School Lane and he is worth considering, along with Made In The Woods, who can put a below-par Limerick display behind him.

Narrowly denied over C&D on his latest start in November, SPANISH HUSTLE may look like the second string behind the progressive Letsbefrank of the Jim Goldie trio, but he must hold every chance with Kaiya Fraser taking off a valuable 3lb once more. A determined winner on his first start for the James Owen team at Southwell, Sportingsilvermine may have plenty more to come over further off 2lb higher, while It's A Love Thing is another arriving in excellent form, having won two of his last three starts on the all-weather.

Particularly interesting is SPORTINGSILVERMINE (nap), who brings lots of positives. Letsbefrank is second choice.

Course and distance winner PRINCE OF AIR can prove his liking for this venue by adding a second success. A winner on his stable debut at Thurles last November, the gelding was far from disgraced off a 9lb higher mark back at that same track on his next appearance. Dropped 2lb in the interim and with Shane O'Callaghan claiming 5lb, he can essentially race off a 7lb lower mark. Fresh from a winter break, the eight-year-old can take this if fit and ready. Ricky Langford should give the selection most to think about. The Philip Rothwell-trained gelding remains well handicapped in this code relative to his hurdles rating. Point-to-point winner Arthor is another worthy of consideration.

Last year's winner PRINCE OF AIR lacks a recent run but may be able to overcome an absence since December to land this prize again

LTO Selection:hiden content, hiden content, hiden content, hiden content

MARHABA GHAIYYATH continues to go from strength to strength and a mark of 84 on his handicap debut may prove lenient as he looks to bring up the hat-trick with Joe Fanning taking over in the saddle. Gelded since a taking success at Redcar in November, Magellan Cloud could be one to follow over further as a three-year-old, while similar comments may apply to Springbok, who ended last season with a promising fifth at Beverley.

There are others who bring potential but topweight MARHABA GHAIYYATH may well bring the most.

STOCKPYLE ran a race full of promise when finishing second in a first-time tongue-tie (retained) at Doncaster a fortnight ago. A 2lb rise will be no problem for Sam England's gelding and he is taken to go one place better, espeically boasting a fitness edge over some of today's rivals. Vince Le Prince was last seen winning at Catterick in October but does have the ability to go well when fresh, while others to note include Hectic and Rock Melody.

With the form of his last-time win very strong, VINCE LE PRINCE is preferred. Second choice is Stockpyle.

Although below-par in both his runs since returning to action, GWEEDORE has been given a real chance by the handicapper and now back on the grass where he has been most effective previously, it would come as no surprise were he to bounce back. Oriental Prince completed his hat-trick at Southwell recently but remains unexposed on turf. Top weight Ramazan merits plenty of respect, as does Dain Ma Nut In, who returns from a 206-day absence in search of a four-timer.

Back in slightly calmer waters, useful RAMAZAN is taken to defy top weight. Dain Ma Nut In is second choice.

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.
