Another Cesarewitch, another loser was the case on Sunday as Miles To Memphis drifted like a barge and ran accordingly at Navan. In my defence, the ground was a lot livelier than I thought it would be and that probably played a big part in his poor performance. I blame my rum soaked weather 'reporter'!!! You know who you are… With little to no rain forecast the ground should be good at Tramore on Thursday and I think this 16/1 shot could go well at a track he likes.

| Tintown Robin has a good record in handicaps at Tramore. |
Tintown Robin hasn’t won since scoring over 16.5f on soft ground at Clonmel off a mark of 93 last November. He doesn’t need it soft though, as his win at Fairyhouse in a good ground handicap hurdle off 83 in November 2016 demonstrates. Although he has yet to win at Tramore he has run some cracking races in defeat there and his career form figures in handicaps at the track read 22244.
He ran a very nice race here back in June on his first try at 2m 5f on good ground and he travelled into the race extremely well. He was only beaten 4L by Coolfighter off 100 and he didn’t get the clearest of passages between the last couple of flights. His last two runs over shorter trips haven’t been as good but he may just need further now and his mark has slipped back down to 97.
The booking of Andrew Lynch catches the eye as he has ridden 11 winners for Vincent Halley, seven more than any other pilot. He has yet to win on board this 7yo son of Robin Des Pres but he did manage to finish second on him the last time he got the leg up. Ground will suit, his half brother won over 22f so his pedigree suggests stamina won’t be an issue and at odds of 16/1 I think Tintown Robin is well worth chancing each way.
STEVOS’ SELECTION: 2.35 TRAMORE-TINTOWN ROBIN E/W @ 16/1
