The Savills Chase (2.20) has a prizefund of €30,000 and is the richest race of the day in Ireland with a field of eight declared. Willie Mullins has won this corresponding contest four times in the last seven years and the champion trainer has three runners in the line-up headed by Al Boum Photo, last seen when dramatically steered out under Paul Townend at the last fence with victory in sight at Punchetsown last season. The mount of Ruby Walsh this time is joined by stable companions Invitation Only and Total Recall, both with obvious claims on official ratings.
Gordon Elliott has won this race twice in recent years with Roi Du Mee and his sole representative is Alpha Des Obeaux owned by Gigginstown who also run the Henry De Bromhead-trained duo Sub Lieutenant and Valsuer Lido.
The David Flynn Building Contractors Maiden Hurdle (12.00) gets the meeting underway with a field of 15 facing the starter including interesting French import Janidil from the Willie Mullins yard and owned by JP McManus.
The going at Tramore is soft, heavy in places.
The racecourse has advised in a facebook post that due to circumstances beyond their control, no ATM facilities will be available on site.
Gates open 10.30am and tickets are available online or on the gate.
