7:25 Tramore
The 7:25 Tramore is a 2m5f mares maiden hurdle on good ground featuring a field of 16. With a lone leader likely to enjoy an uncontested lead according to the pace shape, the race poses a test of whether any of the closers can bridge the gap or if one of the more prominent types can capitalise. KTB's Fit Scores point to a modest contest overall, with Quiet In Bresil heading the ratings on 66 while the remainder cluster between 54 and 37.
How the race shapes up
The pace shape indicates a lone leader with little to pressure it, suggesting an uncontested lead that could prove difficult for closers to peg back. Most of the field are held-up types, including the selection, which will be looking to produce their effort late off what should be a steady gallop. The key question is whether the clear leader can get away or if the race will be won from off the pace in a race where prominent runners are thin on the ground.

The contenders
Quiet In Bresil KTB Fit 66/100
Quiet In Bresil is a useful performer who has shown little spark in two runs this year and was well held both starts here last season. She drops back in trip with first-time headgear now tried. The trainer has a strong 25% strike rate at Tramore from a smallish sample of eight runs while the jockey records a 12% strike rate at the track from 52 rides. She has two runs on good ground without a win or place and has finished seventh and fifth in two previous runs at Tramore. Usually held up and producing her effort late, she is the KTB selection in a race where the pace shape may suit her style if the leader comes back to the field.
Hello Below KTB Fit 54/100
Hello Below has shown fair form when runner-up on debut over hurdles and again when second in a bumper, but has failed to build on that in two starts since. She steps up in trip today with first-time headgear applied. The trainer holds a solid 13% strike-rate at Tramore from 67 runs and the jockey has a 10% strike rate from 80 rides at the venue. Their combined record reads 7/47 with an A/E of 1.25. She has one run on good ground without a win or place and no course form on record. Usually races handily on or close to the lead, she could be suited by the expected uncontested leader in front.
Thedreamistilalive KTB Fit 53/100
Thedreamistilalive is a lightly raced 4-year-old with two poor efforts so far and only limited evidence to go on. First-time headgear is now fitted as he steps up markedly in trip. The trainer has an 11% strike rate from 19 runs at Tramore while the jockey has a 0% strike rate from eight rides at the track. He has no runs on good ground and remains unproven on the surface. Usually held up and producing his effort late on the limited evidence available, he makes up one of the many unknowns in what looks a modest maiden.
Treacys Ella KTB Fit 52/100
Treacys Ella has shown little in two starts so far, finishing eighth then fifth. The step up from 2m to 2m5f poses a fresh question for this lightly-raced 5-year-old. Trainer Declan Queally has a 12% strike rate from 130 runs at Tramore while the jockey records a 20% strike rate from 20 rides at the track. Their combined record stands at 5/48 with an A/E of 0.54. She has two runs on good ground without a win or place and no course form on record. Usually held up, she will need to improve markedly on what she has shown to date.
Room For One More KTB Fit 51/100
Room For One More has shown little in three starts to date, finishing well beaten on both starts this year. The drop back in trip today asks a fresh question of a horse with only a modest profile so far. Trainer Willie Mullins has a strong 30% strike rate at Tramore from 684 runs and the jockey has a 12% strike rate from 306 rides at the venue. Their combined record reads 65/565 with an A/E of 0.86. She has two runs on good ground without a win or place and no course form on record. Usually held up, she represents a powerful yard that demands respect even with a modest profile.
The rest of the field
I'm GoldKTB Fit 49/100
I'm Gold has shown little in two starts to date and is now fitted with first-time headgear. The step up in trip poses a fresh question while the yard's record at Tramore is too small a sample to judge. With only two career runs everything here remains guesswork and she is rated 49 on KTB's Fit Score.
Road To The SeaKTB Fit 47/100
Road To The Sea is a fair performer on the balance of his ratings and race history. He showed little in his first three completed starts yet has course connections that give him a solid chance to improve. The trainer holds a 0% strike rate from five runs at Tramore while the horse drops back in trip today to a distance he has never tried and he is rated 47 on KTB's Fit Score.
HunskelperKTB Fit 46/100
Hunskelper has shown very little so far with a string of poor efforts including a heavy defeat on return. The step up in trip today asks a fresh question of a horse still lightly raced overall. Trainer Cian Collins has a modest 3% strike rate from 29 runs at Tramore and he is rated 46 on KTB's Fit Score.
Mila BallerinaKTB Fit 46/100
Mila Ballerina has shown very little in three starts to date and arrives with a recent form string of 005. The yard records a modest 4% strike rate from 28 runs at Tramore while this will be the first time the 3 lb claimer has ridden here. First-time headgear is applied as the mare steps up markedly in trip today and she is rated 46 on KTB's Fit Score.
GratitudeforgraceKTB Fit 46/100
Gratitudeforgrace has shown little in two starts to date, finishing seventh on debut and then last of seven at 2m4f. Gordon Elliott has a solid 15% strike rate from 509 runs at Tramore. The trip is a fresh question today and the going remains unknown given the small sample and she is rated 46 on KTB's Fit Score.
Banphrionsa AlainnKTB Fit 44/100
Banphrionsa Alainn has only two completed starts so far and both have been poor efforts. The step up from 2m1f to 2m5f poses a fresh question. With the trainer on a very small sample at Tramore and the horse itself too lightly raced for any firm read on going, this one remains hard to assess with any confidence and she is rated 44 on KTB's Fit Score.
Nancy WheelerKTB Fit 43/100
Nancy Wheeler has shown little in three starts to date, finishing out of the frame each time on a variety of trips. The step up to 2m5f today poses a fresh question for a lightly-raced mare whose small sample makes it impossible to judge whether the longer distance will suit. Trainer S Curling has a modest 5% strike rate from 43 runs at Tramore and she is rated 43 on KTB's Fit Score.
QueenofqueenstreetKTB Fit 41/100
Queenofqueenstreet has only two runs to her name and both have been poor. She steps up markedly in trip today which asks a fresh question of her. The yard's modest record at Tramore adds no encouragement and she is rated 41 on KTB's Fit Score.
Lady AquarelleKTB Fit 40/100
Lady Aquarelle is a modest performer who has shown very little in seven starts and was pulled up or well beaten on her last four outings. She drops back in trip to 2m5f today which asks a fresh question while first-time headgear is also tried. Trainer has an 8% strike rate from 83 runs at Tramore and she is rated 40 on KTB's Fit Score.
Kenny's JewelKTB Fit 39/100
Kenny's Jewel is a fair performer who has shown little in three starts this year and was pulled up on his handicap debut. He steps up markedly in trip today while wearing headgear for the first time, which asks a fresh question of him. The trainer has a modest 7% strike rate from 86 runs at Tramore and he is rated 39 on KTB's Fit Score.
FervidaKTB Fit 37/100
Fervida is a fair performer on the balance of her ratings and race history but has failed to win or place in nine starts and looks modest on current form. The trainer has a 6% strike rate from 247 runs at Tramore while the jockey is making his debut here. She has never placed on good ground in five attempts and now drops back in trip to 2m5f having been well held over three miles last time and she is rated 37 on KTB's Fit Score.
KTB verdict
Quiet In Bresil is the KTB selection. She brings the highest Fit Score in the race and represents a trainer in excellent form at Tramore with a 25% strike rate from a small sample. The first-time headgear and drop back in trip could spark improvement from a useful performer who has been disappointing of late. The main dangers are Hello Below, who has shown fair form on a couple of occasions and now tries a longer trip with headgear, and Room For One More from the powerful Mullins yard despite a modest profile so far. The pace shape with a lone leader may make life tough for the many held-up runners.
