Ideal opening for PomFlyer

WAGERS should be kept to a minimum at Tramore this evening, given that this is a programme which looks far from punter-friendly.

Francis Flood's Pom Flyer is no more than a token nap choice in the opening Supporters' Club Maiden.

He is a very useful hurdler, when on song, and hopefully this will be one of his better days. The selection has been rested since running the race of his life in the Pierse Hurdle at Leopardstown in January.

Pom Flyer finished two and a half lengths and the same third behind Studmaster and No Where To Hyde, a contest in which on less than 27 went to post.

Fran Berry takes the ride and he could also be on the mark aboard Tom Hogan's Kylebeg Dancer in the Eventful Venue Handicap.

This tough mare has shown her liking for Tramore in the past and was successful twice on the level last season.

Barry Geraghty is a significant booking for Michael Halford's Miss Ailbhe, in the Graun Hill Maiden Hurdle, and she gets the nod.

A winner on the flat at Sligo, the daughter of Polish Precedent indicated a contest such as this may be within her compass when third to Vox Populi at Leopardstown at Christmas.

Grand National hero Niall Madden has possibilities on Copper Moon in the Waterford and Tramore Directors' Maiden Hurdle.

He is a horse who may well have his own ideas about the game, running no sort of race behind Conna Castle at Punchestown last time.

A repeat, however, of his three lengths second to Sir Overbury at Naas would be good enough, in a very moderate event.
