Bank on Borolee

BOROLEE can land the nap in the Tom Carroll Memorial Handicap Case at Tramore this afternoon, should the meeting survive a 7.30am inspection, called due to the threat of severe frost overnight.

He is certainly on the upgrade, producing a half-decent effort to get off the mark at Clonmel last time.

Enterprisingly handled by Sean Flanagan, he kicked away early in the straight, grabbing a winning advantage.

Heavily-backed Seabass tried hard to close, but was always being held in the closing stages, the verdict a length.

Liz Doyle’s charge went up 7lbs for that, but considering the third was a further eight lengths away that doesn’t appear overly harsh!

Local trainer, Pat Flynn, can provide the answer to the New Year’s Day At Tramore Maiden Hurdle with Binocular.

He ran well enough when third to Kauto Relko and Gold Cygnet at Cork and this looks an easier assignment.

Edward O’Grady’s Guzzle An Go gets the nod in the Your New Year Resolution Maiden Hurdle. It’s encouraging she is turned out again so quickly, having performed so well when third to Prince Of Fire and Grey Soldier at Leopardstown last Sunday.

The featured Waterford And Tramore Racecourse Supporters’ Chase may be best left to One Cool Cookie.

He has shown a liking for this place in the past and performed nicely on his reappearance when runner-up behind Watson Lake in a Grade 2 at Clonmel recently.
